OS/2

Summary:

PROBLEM ID: OS29012021

SYMPTOMS VDISK will hang during initialization, which will cause OS/2 to hang during startup, if the VDISK disk-size entry specified is larger than 1024 megabytes (MB) and does not fall on an even megabyte boundary (that is, 1024 MB, 2048 MB, and so forth).

RESOLUTION Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the version of VDISK.SYS included with the final release of OS/2 version 1.21. This problem was corrected in OS/2 version 1.3.
