I'm looking into this, seems to be some sort of memory corruption. On my test VirtualBox vm it works fine, on my laptop I get a halt but much later than you, where FreeCom is loading. The gcc compiled kernel works in all my tests. Testing on my laptop is a pain as it's my primary computer and I have to go into UEFI enable/disable BIOS boot for each test and then boot back into my primary OS to make changes and repeat. I am going to try and see if I can replicate the boot issue on one of my older computers this weekend so I can find and fix the problem quicker. I did try different versions of Open Watcom and it didn't make a difference. Does it make a difference on your computer if the kernel is compiled for 386+ vs 86+ ? Was this on real computer or virtual? I have some ideas where the issue is but always welcome additional information to help narrow the problem. Thank you for reporting it. Jeremy
