Hi, Last year I wrote about a problem with 16-bit 2039 kernels in portable computers: ChkDsk would report errors, and wouldn't even run.
I later found that the 2039 32-bit kernel did not produce these errors, so I started using it in my two portables (IBM ThinkPad and Compaq Armada), and the errors never occurred again. No such problem had ever happened to me in desktops; it was restricted to portables. So much for last year. Now I downloaded kernel 2040 and began to use the 16-bit version in my desktop. Surprisingly, it has produced the same kind of error seen last year in portables. Here's a sample of the ChkDsk (version 0.9.2) messages: \FDOS\HIMEM is a directory without '..' \FDOS\JAPHETH is a directory without '..' \FDOS\JEMM is a directory without '..' \FDOS\USB is a directory without '..' \FDOS\HELP is a directory without '..' \FDOS\NLS is a directory without '..' \FDOS\DIVERSOS is a directory without '..' \FDOS\UIDE is a directory without '..' \FDOS\INI is a directory without '..' \FDOS\ESCONDER is a directory without '..' \RECURSOS \RECURSOS doesn't contain an '.' as first entry \RECURSOS\AAAAAAAA.AA2 is a directory without '..' \RECURSOS\AAAAAAAA. AA is a directory without '..' Error accessing the volume DosFsCk runs normally, and does not find any fault with the file system. I also tried kernel 2040 16-bit in one portable (ThinkPad), and the same errors happened. In short, this is the same story as last year; the only difference is that now it happens in the desktop too. My desktop computer is a Pentium 133 MHz with 128 MB memory.
