Do all boot options result in the “out of memory” error? Also, JEMM was updated to 5.85 for RC2. I doubt it will make any difference. But, you may want to test the previous version of JEMM with FreeCOM 0.86. Since I have not had the opportunity to update the packages on the update/download repository, you could just use FDNPKG to remove then install JEMM386. That would fetch 5.84 from the repo and install it. Easy to do with networking under VMware. However, I do not think it likely to fix the issue. This could be related to the “out of memory” issues Paul Dufresne was experiencing on real hardware with RC1, FreeCOM 0.85a and JEMM 5.84. That seemed to occur while FreeCOM was initializing. I think he was able to mitigate the error by changing what was loaded prior to FreeCOM. However, I do not think the actual problem was found or fixed. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
