First, I am using a T60 not a T61, so there are obviously potential
differences.  YMMV...

>(debug version).

Because of potential confusion with various test drivers, I'm going to
use actual driver date/times to identify what I have been using prior
to Paul's latest update.  I believe these to be from the distributions
shown:

          uniaud16test20080419-2.zip
>     uniaud32.sys   574658   4-01-08   6:56a
          uniaud32-1.9.2.zip

I have tried so many of Paul's test levels and the above were the best
combination for my system.

All of the other 1.9.3 tests and combinations thereof caused various
lockups.  OTOH I do not recall any traps during the boot process with
any of the tests.

I installed the updated 1.9.4 level of UniAud32.  No boot problems, but
my 'standard' first test is a YouTube version of the Doubletree Hotel
commercial with Dinah Washington's 'Relax Max'...
    Works with the 1.9.2 level above.
    DOES NOT work [SYSTEM LOCKUP] with 1.9.4.

Again, though, boot is OK, so not exactly the same as yours.

A standard question for T6x issues:
*  Do you have:
   RUN=O:\GENMAC\DRIVER\HELPERW.EXE
as the first executable in the Config.Sys?

I am using the same kernel. on my T60

I have:
  IFS=o:\OS2\BOOT\FAT32.IFS /CACHE:2048 /H /Q
  CALL=o:\OS2\CACHEF32.EXE /F /L:OFF
using the FAT32 0.9.11 version.  I have not tried the 0.9.12, nor the
0.9.12 with the fix to a problem that was reported.

The other almost standard question for any T6x issue:
    What ACPI are you using and what are your switch settings?

I am using:
  PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /EIS  /ALS
  RUN=O:\OS2\ACPIDAEMON.EXE
  BASEDEV=APM.ADD
      [Note:  APM.SYS is not compatible with ACPI]

Don't know that this will be much help since our environments are
somewhat different.  But, the solutions these days seem to be more art
than science.
