Hi guys,
(Note that it never sent me any replies via e-mail, so I switched off
from digest, not sure if that will help or not! So I'm just manually
quoting / replying here from the online archive.)

The floppy currently "only" has 83 files. ;-) Some of that is
truly unnecessary but niceties. I have all sources, just need to pack
'em up. Won't take too long, but I still feel foolish without trying
everything I can think of first. I was just wondering if the error
message rang any bells with anyone or someone had any ideas.
But if you, cm, really want to test, I can hurry up and do that. (As
far as I know, everything is latest version, but I didn't look too too
closely. Due to various hardware issues over the years, this is yet
another different computer which lacks most of my files. So I had to
download from scratch anyways. Most of it is from the iBiblio mirror.)
But I would ideally like to know what's wrong first. No sense in
sending something that's broken! I did put (most) of the files on the
HD, booted from floppy, but still get an error. I need to reboot and
(yet again) try kernel 2037. (Fun fun fun.) If THAT doesn't work, I
dunno, then I need to back and check my older RUFFIDEA
abominat^H^H^H^H distro, and see how I did it there. (But I didn't
include COUNTRY.SYS there, should've been put on disk #2, oops. Of
course, that doesn't help Esperantujo anyways.) I did a fairly clean
boot (via F8, disabling almost everything) and that still didn't help.
So yeah, it's some bug or out-of-order loading thing (or I guess could
still be my fault, indirectly).
To my incompetent eyes, it vaguely looks like a problem with KEYB. But
I didn't want to email everybody off-list, since that is frowned upon.
So I haven't contacted Aitor directly. Probably best, I need to figure
it out myself anyways (if possible).

Hmm, the KEYBOARD.SYS etc. files are all dated 2009. Not sure if or
why that would break anything, but you never know.
> (ea): Jumping to 0:0 could mean a pointer/handler is used before being set.
I didn't literally mean 0000:0000, I just couldn't remember the
(random) numbers offhand anyways. I did try again later, see below:

P.S. This is what I get for not truly using or testing all this stuff
enough, heh. Can't help it, the U.S. is a monolingual country (7-bit
ASCII ftw!). My only excuse for bothering at all is my E-o knowledge,
which is fairly complete (don't need no stinkin' dictionary) but
vaguely rusty. I haven't read anything major in a few years. :-/
Guess I should re-read my books: La Komedio de Eraroj, Reghido de
Danujo, La Sankta Biblio, ktp. ;-)
