Hallo Andy,
My original distribution was still using kernel build 2034. I upgraded to kernel version 2035. Too bad because it didn't solve my problem. Then I tried the test kernel from the URL that Eric gave in his post (http://linux.tu-varna.acad.bg/~lig/freedos/kernel/) and yes for some reason is worked. It seems that the memory fix did help whatever it may be.
This seems strange to me, as MASM 6.11d and NMAKE 1.40 worked for me even under older kernels. But I'm glad it helped. This may be due to the fix of the incompatibility that Michael Devore found.
could the memory problem have something to do with the fact that EMM386 is not loaded?
No, because DOSXNT works with XMS too. It may even work without an XMS driver - I haven't tested.
MOV DX,0 ; Read sector number 0
Eric is right - sector numbers are 1-based, not 0-based.
Regards, Lucho
