hi Bart, Bochs has no PCI, so UMBPCI does not work. any comments on the original message I posted? do you want me to publish a Bochs zipfile including my FreeDOS configuration, so anyone can reproduce my encountered problems? unlike VMware, Bochs is completely platform-independent an

Subject: kernel problems and problem loading high DISPLAY I have a problem with loading high the DISPLAY driver. Aitor mentioned that it requires maybe up to 64KB initial memory, and then shrinks itself. My problem is that instead of loading low when "LH" fails, the entire command fails.
