Problems under OS/2



Well, it's been a while since I mentioned these problems so I'll throw them
out again and see if anyone else can verify them.  My TP is a 750m/170
running OS/2 w/ 12MB RAM.  Also, if you've got the OS/2 2.11 service pack,
it might be a good idea to see if the SP fixes any of these problems
(remember to back up your data first!).

1.  Start up OS/2.  Put computer into suspend mode.  Resume.  Hit ctrl-alt-
del.  OS/2 should flush cache and reboot.  On my machine, it just reboots
(requiring the hard drive be repaired the next time I boot OS/2).  This one
is a real pain when shutdown fails and I'm left with no way to reliably
turning off my computer.

2.  Start up OS/2.  Put computer into suspend mode.  While resuming (you can
tell because the hard drive is initially accessed while resuming), if you do
things like type or move the pointer, *sometimes* the machine will hang.
Occasionally you can unhang it by putting the machine back into suspend and
resuming (this time without interrupting).  Usually, it stays hung requiring
a power off.  I haven't narrowed down exactly what causes the hang.

Has anybody else run across these or other problems?
