hi all I have a problem running FreeDOS with himem/emm386 on a custom size floppy image (8640 kB) I use memdisk to emulate the floppy.
I've tested 4 situations: 1. kernel on 2880 kB floppy image = works 2. kernel on 8640 kB floppy image = works 3. kernel + himem/emm386 on 2880 kB floppy = works 4. kernel + himem/emm386 on 8640 kB floppy = ERROR In 4th situation the system hangs (freezes) just after emm386 shows all inforamtions about memory he found , there is no any error - everything looks fine. I suspect some collision between emm386 and memdisk (as it is floppy size problem = memory problem). I've tested a lot of himem/emm386 switches but no luck. I can add that JEMMEX works fine in all 4 cases, but that is not a solution I'm looking for. I use the last stable versions of all software (but also tried older himem/emm386 - without any change) I've got some help from memdisk side (mailing list), but without final solution Here is my mail, the answer and more details: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2007-July/008882.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
