Cmpeng,

I lost interest in computers a few years ago, and I used to be able to provide good direction for problems like this, but now I shall have to go by an installation that I have here, and by vague recollection. Can you get to an OS/2 command line so that you can look at CONFIG.SYS? When OS/2 is trying to reboot, do you get a text screen that has a rectangular character at the upper-left corner with the characters 'OS/2' beside it? If so, when that screen appears, trying pressing Alt-F1 to see if you can get to a command line. There was also a way to get to a command line by booting from the installation diskettes.

Look to see if you have these in CONFIG.SYS -- the order might be important.

IFS = HPFS.IFS

IFS = CDFS.IFS

BASEDEV = IBMIDECD.FLT

DEVICE = OS2CDROM.DMD

DEVICE = VCDROM.SYS
