Which version? Which kernel? Which OS2LDR?

Which BM? Old (FDISK)? Or, LVM (new)?

Which? Are you using more than one at a time?

Do you need the IDE ports?

Do you still have my reply to you of Mon, 06 Jan 2003 19:28:15 -0500.
Same rule applies. Your LSI driver should be the first or second line in
CONFIG.SYS, depending on whether you have IDE devices to boot from.

Sounds like you may have a problem of resource conflicts that is
resolved by disabling unneeded IDE ports. Have you tried using different
slots for the LSI cards? Have you disabled other unneeded ports, like
COM2 or even both COM1 and COM2?
