There is not a fix.  While your suggestion should work, it doesn't for me.
The flag variable to fast fail had the wrong value in my test kernel.
Something is wrong and it will take me time to track down the issue or fix
properly.  In the meantime, there are important changes that I want to
ensure make it into next distribution released.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!

[Freedos-kernel] Kernel 2042 release

[perditionc]

Kernel 2042 is tagged.  Source and 8086+ builds are staged on SF
(admins can view now, everyone else in a few days).  386+ builds are
not yet available.
Builds with FAT12/16 only and FAT12/16/32, source archive, and fdpkg
files are also available http://www.fdos.org/kernel/release/LATEST/
and will include 386+ versions once I build them.

This release includes mostly bug fixes, please see docs/history file
or revision control logs for details.

I have not yet committed all the changes/patches/pull requests in my
queue, but I did not want to delay the release any longer to ensure it
makes it into FreeDOS 1.2 release as it fixes several important
issues.  INTERLINK issue has not been resolved, and still requires
option to load low.  Please note that although a version of sys is
still in the sources and included in the releases, it is not the
latest version; a future change will remove sys from the kernel
sources and move it into its own package; possibly the same for share
and country so they can be updated separately from the kernel.
