During installation of a package which replaces files which are 
open and cannot be closed while the system is active then a special 
driver is used to do the replacement on the next reboot.  The error 
happens when the install didn't complete properly.  

OS/2 uses the locked file device driver/executable pair, 
ibmlanlk.sys & ibmlanlk.exe to make the installation and removes 
the device commands from the config.sys when it's done.  If your 
config.sys has "C:\OS2\INSTALL\IBMLANLK.EXE 
C:\OS2\INSTALL\IBMLANLK.LST" statement (usually at the top, or near 
the top) then it did not finish properly.  When it finishes 
properly this statement is removed.

You can google ibmlanlk.exe for suggestions on how to correctly 
resolve this problem.

You can check \os2\install\ibmlanlk.lst and if it is present, the 
commands to install the files are in that list.  You can boot to a 
command prompt and replace them manually.

Check your os2\install\ibmlshst.log for clues about what might have 
(or not have) happened.

Good luck,
jon
