Interestingly enough, I observed exactly the same problem, although I never
tracked it down to the controler. The strange thing is that IBM OS/2 1.2 with
CSD Level 4031 (I know, I know, this is pre-golden etc. etc. :-) installs
and runs just fine. So excuse me if I have no real solution for the problem,
but I try to add my observation anyway.
