A while ago I reported a problem I had with FreeDOS kernel 2.0.34 and PXELINUX+memdisk:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00761.html Well, I have some more information. First, the problem only happens on certain machines. Right now, I can only reproduce it on a Dell Dimension 450. Second, and more interestingly, the problem has changed with the release of 2.0.35. It still only happens on my Dimenstion 450. But instead of not reading config.sys at all, I receive an error whenever config.sys processes a DEVICE= or DEVICEHIGH= line. For instance: CONFIG.SYS error in line 4 DEVICE=himem64.exe ^ ...and so on, one for each DEVICE= or DEVICEHIGH= line. I tried using "DEVICE=A:\himem64.exe" and the same thing happened. Once I get to a DOS prompt, "dir himem64.exe" shows that file is present. But I suspect something about the way files are read during processing of CONFIG.SYS is different than how they are read once I get to the command prompt. Again, this only happens on one machine. So I know the problem is not in my config.sys file, although I am appending it below anyway. Since the behavor improved between 2.0.34 and 2.0.35, I am hoping this will ring a bell with someone and make this easy to fix. This is blocking me from upgrading beyond 2.0.33. As always, I am ready to do whatever testing you need.
