I had the same problem when installing IBM OS/2 1.20 on my machine.

I use a WD 1006SR2 controller (also RLL) with a Seagate ST-4096
(formatted as RLL :-).

The RLL drive was NOT the source of the problem. It was the keyboard.
Several enhanced keyboard do not pass the driver's installation-time
tests and hang the system with 1.20. I had a Monterey keyboard and had
to replace it by a Cherry Keyboard, which now works. After booting with
the Cherry keyboard, I can even replace it with the Monterey and this
then works too, but it does not pass the boot tests.

Maybe thats your problem too, try another keyboard ...
