Hi Bernd et al: I wish to thank all of you again for the wonderful support and help! I have been amazed at the responsiveness of the FreeDOS community!
Back with the haunted HP Pavilion (TM). Development kernel, sys, and command.com from fdos.org/kernel. EMM386.EXE and HIMEM.SYS from emm204x.zip. Random edit.com. config.sys: device=a:\himem.exe device=a:\emm386.exe x=test memcheck A:\> vol c: works fine. Reports correct serial number. So, it does appear to be the VDS parameter. I can have that checked by a couple of people who are also having failure to boot problems with FreeDOS if we believe that it will help. Do I need VDS? :-) What does it do? How can I help identify the problem? I do have the Haunted HP Pavilion (TM)!
