Okay, I figured out a problem with higher memory machines (>= 256M) not reserving enough memory with NOEMS. EMM386 needs additional dynamic allocation of different reserve sizes based on physical memory so that the page tables don't run out of room. Currently with UMB's, 192M is about the best that will behave under NOEMS, although higher and lower than typical UMB counts can affect that. With only 96K of UMB's (you pick up 64K when EMS page frame goes away) and 256M physical memory your machine should have had been close enough on the remaining EMS memory for the UMB's to load, but looks like it must have teetered on the edge and fell off. Guess we'll know next revision if that was the problem. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
