Locked File Device Driver Loaded.....HANG
I am trying to load Warp 4 on a clean new hard drive. It goes
well until the re-boot. I get the Warp logo, and files are
loaded... but then the words: "The Locked File device driver
is loaded." appears, and the system hangs... I am not using
HPFS, all drives are FAT. john.buck.jr@pcohio.com

What kind of computer is this machine, what type of hard drive our you using, SCSI or IDE? What options our you loading on your machine, MMPM, LAN, our just the BASE system?

The computer has a 200cpu Intel chip, a Western Digital 6.4 hard
drive, IDE, with the necessary files for OS/2. No options, really,
just the Basic system. My CD-ROM, Tape Backup, Bernoulli drive
and floppy drives are on an Adaptec SCSI card. I had this problem
last March when I first attempted to install Warp 4, and OS/2 Tech
Support was able to get me around it. I called them the other day,
with that problem number, but they said they purge their records
every three months, and can not retrive old solutions.....

Did you update your Installation Diskettes,
with the following two fixes:
++
COM.SYS Update for >150MHz Processors
OS/2 Base Device Driver Updates
OS/2 Component Updates
OS/2 Device Drivers
http://ftp.software.ibm.com/os2ddpak/html/os_2comp/os_2base/
Greater Than 4.3GB IDE Hardfile Support Installation Diskette Updates
OS/2 Component Updates
OS/2 Device Drivers
http://ftp.software.ibm.com/os2ddpak/html/os_2comp/installa/
???

Otta's advice is appreciated, and is practical. The files necessary for the larger hard drive were added; the files for the over 150mh can not be added until OS/2 is successfully installed. So, I'm still at an impasse. I am going to borrow someone elses installation disks, to see if there may be a problem with mine.... I have had Warp 4 since the day it was launched, so if there were any early bugs I may still have them.

Thanks again for your reply.... Hopefully, the Installation
Diskettes that I borrow (tommorrow) will be a newer version than
the ones that I have. If my problem is a "bug" on the diskettes
a newer version might just help that. I think I mentioned that I
had this problem once before (on my initial install, I think) and
OS/2 tech support, such as it was, was able to get me around it..
They seemed to know what the problem was right away... I got my
version of Warp 4 at the Launch Celebration, so it is an early one.

PROBLEM SOLVED..... Just thought you may like to know.
Evidently there was a conflict between my Adeptec SCSI and
something on an older (2 years!) Sound Card: Pro Audio Studio 14.
We replaced the sound card, and now OS/2 loads successfully.
As a "perk" a couple of other things (my Bernoulli Drive and a
DOS program "The Master Genealogist") which didn't work before,
are now working......... These darn machines! Anyway, thanks
for your help... It was a screwy problem I know...
