I'm not certain about what is crashing. Changing to curl makes no difference at all. This works on my Pentium 4, so I suspect there is something specific to my 486 that is causing the problem. I wish the crash message was more descriptive. A dump of the processor's registers and more than 2 near fnodes does not tell me what crashed. Did command.com crash? Was there an invalid memory reference because I need to exclude a certain region and don't know about it? If someone else has a real DTK 486 DX2-66 that uses 30 pin memory, I'd appreciate an attempt by them to reproduce this problem. I have tried running only fdapm, ne2000, mouse, DOSLFN, command, and system. I still get kernel panic, system halted. I have 20 megs of ram, memtest says that the memory is fine. Could the order I have the chips plugged in in be a problem? Which bank needs to be 1 meg chips? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
