It is true that LOADLIN chokes on the NOVCPI parameter,
but I've never met anyone who needed NOVCPI.

What's the NOVCPI doing? You get the same memory
allocation from NOEMS as you do from NOEMS NOVCPI.
I've just tested this on two different computers:
486DX4-100 (Phoenix BIOS) NOEMS+NOVCPI NOEMS
Largest executable program size 616K 616K
Largest free upper memory block 83K 83K
486DX40 (AMI BIOS) NOEMS+NOVCPI NOEMS
Largest executable program size 616K 616K
Largest free upper memory block 123K 123K
I suggest you leave out the NOVCPI.
Cheers,
