Can anyone suggest why a machine which has been working perfectly well suddenly hangs during bootup while loading IBM2SS14.SYS?


This happened to me yesterday with a Thinkpad 600 which I've had for several years. If I comment out the line in CONFIG.SYS with IBM2SS14.SYS it boots fine, but obviously without network capability. If I leave it in, it hangs within 10 secs of booting whilst displaying that IBM2SS14.SYS is being loaded (using Alt-F2 at boot).


I have tried changing the version of the driver, as well as Dani's versions of the driver to no avail.

Could this be some sort of hardware problem?

     

Hello John,

Try disabling the internal modem and rebooting.    

How do I do that?
 

 

Will it boot with the modem disabled and the IBM2SS14.SYS enabled?
