Peter,

You turn on "Full Hardware Detection" in the "Hardware Manager". Go to
the "System Setup" folder and ALT left mouse click on it to bring up the
properties notebook.

Normally the default is set to "Use Previous Detection". Change it to
"Full Hardware Detection" just before you add any new hardware. Then
reboot, and finally change it back to "Use Previous Detection".

You have to be careful here that your C:\OS2\BOOT\SNOOP.LST does not
contain any bogus
entries in it. If it does, your system may not boot, because it will get
hung on those entries. Test it out first, before you install any new
hardware. Do the following:

1. Make a copy of the C:\OS2\BOOT\Previous.dat file and put it
somewhere where you can reach and copy it back to your system from a
maintenance OS/2 boot (should anything go wrong)

2. Change the Hardware Manager to Full Detection

3. Reboot

4. If your system hangs, boot to a maintenance system and copy back the
Previous.dat file into C:\OS2\BOOT

5. Reboot your system. Edit the C:\OS2\BOOT\SNOOP.LST file to "REM" out
the offending hardware snooper. Put a semi-colon (";") on the line of a
snooper that you think may be causing the problem. This by trial and
error

6. Once you have found the offending snooper(s) "REM" with the
semi-colon in the SNOOP.LST

7. Go to "Full Hardware Detection" in the Hardware Manager

8. Close down your system, install your hardware and boot back up.
Return the Hardware Manager to its previous setting
