Hi Paul,
> No I cannot access DVD on installed system. So you can only access it using ELTORITO after booting? If you cannot enable some SATA legacy mode, you could use the AHCICD driver here: https://rloewelectronics.com/distribute/AHCICD/1.1/ It is now freely available, as the author has, alas, died: > WELCOME To the memorial homepage of R.

Can you give some more context with debug and with mem? You can also try the JEMMEX or JEMM386 option "ALTBOOT", although I am not sure whether all versions really use it. > I did remove I=B000-B7FF and I=TEST like suggested elsewhere... > with no real change.

I guess your chip is "Intel HDA" or ICH2: http://mpxplay.sourceforge.net/ The docs also explain that you can either use DOS/4G or DOS/32a, the latter can use more RAM but can crash e.g. with SB Live when that one uses the SB 16 emulator driver. That EMU10DOS driver is quite interesting, because it can create a virtual SB16 for your other games, but I am not sure whether it works with any of our EMM386 variants. It ships with some of the SB PCI sound cards with EMU10k. Not something you have to worry about with MPXPLAY, of course, because MPXPLAY works directly without that driver :-) > EMPONG : CS:EIP (F3EC:2B) was 0f 01 54 08 2E 0f 01 1E... > which decoded to LGDT [SI+08] ... LGDT again. Maybe again the BIOS trying to do something in protected mode, conflicting with the use of JEMMEX or JEMM386? But the value of CS is strange, could also be another error.
