Try JEMM386 manually but with "ultra safest" combination. Quoting from the README.TXT: X=A000-FFFF NOHI NOVME NOINVLPG This is the safest combination. If this doesn't work, Jemm most. likely isn't compatible with the current DOS/BIOS.. (Though I'd be surprised if even that didn't work.) > 2 - use alternative xms memory manager (xmgr) > results in invalid opcode after loading the kernel. Seriously? That's weird. You really must have a buggy BIOS or something (which I find hard to believe if Windows presumably works on that machine). Make sure you're using the latest version, though: http://johnson.tmfc.net/dos/driver.html BTW, did you try HIMEMX? http://www.japheth.de/Download/HimemX/Himem332.zip > This is for hardware > P3-800, Asus Cubx board, Intel i440BX > chip, 384MB of RAM, Network 3Com 3c905b What other OSes can run well there, I wonder. > On Oracle VirtualBox it works, but takes a long time searching the IDE > bus.

Moreso, only the new one (1.1 test #3) is being developed and has newer (hopefully less buggy) stuff. > ps.
