IBM PC300GL - Blank screen on reboot with Cirrus Logic OS/2 Driver

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom :
IBM PC 300GL Series 6272 and 6282 systems running OS/2 2.11 may exhibit a blank screen on reboot following the installation of the OS/2 Cirrus video device driver v1.13b1.

Problem Isolation Aids :
When the installation of the OS/2 Cirrus video device driver is complete, the system prompts the user to perform a Shutdown and reboot the system. A blank image results from the reboot.

Fix :
Use the native OS/2 VGA drivers in place of the Cirrus video drivers.

An updated version of the Cirrus video device driver is being developed to eliminate the problem.
