   I'm not running any eCS SMP stuff on my machine however. It's all IBM stuff,   
   and   
   the 4-core SMP configuration is courtesy of OS2APIC.PSD driver.   
      
   All I can tell is that I get a HARD hang when the boot logo displays    
   ..RESOURCE.SYS...at the bottom of the screen (using ALT-F2 during boot start).    
   Both (main and maintenance) my partitions hang, that means 14.104 & 14.105. I    
   suppose that might mean the driver which JUST loaded prior to RESOURCE.SYS   
   hung    
   the system...however, I'm not sure of how to determine that.
