Hi all, I have a problem with FreeDOS "unstable" / "Win386/WfW311" kernel, the kernel which calls itself 2037 by now: FreeDOS kernel version 1.1.37w (Build 2037w-UNSTABLE, Jun 29 2006) (by the way, the 1.0 pre ISO of FreeDOS has a buggy FreeCOM LFN thing, so either set LFN=N or update to the FreeCOM FreeCom version 0.84-pre2 XMS_Swap [Jul 17 2006 22:56:22] from http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/command/0.84pre/test ing/command.com ...)
My problem is: rem somehow this crashes with WINKERN 2037 unless ?= is used??? 123?INSTALLHIGH=C:\FDOS\bin\lbacache.com 15000 TUNS With kernel 2037, lbacache does not load - instead, the usual illegal opcode thing is shown (emm386 version). However, 123?INSTALLHIGH?=C:\FDOS\bin\lbacache.com 15000 TUNS (and then typing Y, of course) does work fine. With kernel 2036, INSTALL / INSTALLHIGH work without any problems. Speaking of Windows compat, by the way: WIN /S works fine with 2036, but WIN /3 does not work with 2036 nor with 2037 for me. It just returns to the prompt. Bug 2037 is supposed to add Win386 support... I tested only Win 3.1, because I do not own WfW 3.11 :-). Bonus Windows problem is that neither XDMA nor the newest QDMA are compatible: Loading either of the two makes Windows freeze while it plays the welcome sound. Probably some IRQ/DMA problem. Happens both with and without EMM386 loaded. Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
