Yes, it's probably low RAM. See if you can get that "reserved" 384k relocated to extended memory. Where it is now, it's quite useless. I test the boot set on a 4MB laptop, but one that doesn't waste that 384k.
A special kernel with only the devices you need might solve the problem, if you can't relocate that 384k. There are some quite large device drivers that you don't need. That laptop uses IDE disks, right? Thanks Bruce -- Bruce Perens K6BP [EMAIL PROTECTED] Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP public key.
