Strange that the kernel freezes, instead of loading further to process CONFIG.SYS. Is KVM's virtual machine emulation complete enough to put any DOS on it? As in most FreeDOS related issues I'd recommend testing on MSDOS first. Is your above mentioned message obtained from when booting from that harddisk (thus containing KERNEL.SYS) or booting an installation diskette or cdrom? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
