So for a quick check, you can remove the -zff and -zgf from our
kernel makefile to see if that makes the kernel "EMM386 2.04 immune".
Tests done with FreeDOS devel kernel, 386-optimized, from
http://fdos.org/kernel/ (which is STILL not linked from
http://fdos.org/ nor from http://www.freedos.org/ - WHY?),
dated Jul 23 2005 1.1.35w 2035w-UNSTABLE, DOS 7.10 WATCOMC 80386 FAT32.
Luckily the fix for EMM386 only consists of some extra push/pop :-).
Could be right, might be right, sound's good...And yet you really don't
know. Well, let's just think about this for a second. How could you test
something to demonstrate that you can follow-up on your
suppositions. Hmm. Oh, I know. You could save and restore the GS
register in the failing kernel call to see whether it is critical. That
would take a couple of minutes.
Or you could recompile the kernel with the different options you
listed. Another few minutes.
When you do that and verify the problem, get back to me on it, okay? Good
deal.
