Try downloading the eComStation 2.0 Demo CD-R, and Boot It...

http://www.ecomstation.com/democd/>

If you get the eCS desktop, it means that you just need to update 
various Drivers in OS/2 to get it to boot correctly....

I would suspect for your OS/2 Warp 4.52, the P4 - 512MB issue is 
effecting you as well as the ACPI BIOS issues...
