Er, set it to 1? I'm not sure what the loader does for null set commands since I don't use it myself, but I guess it would set the variable to "" if anything. The kernel would then misparse "" as the number 0 (boolean false), so thenull set command would have no effect except possubly to turn off any previous setting. > Further down you write, that the loader doesen't get the correct memsize, is This doesn't seem to be in the quoted mail and I don't remember saying it in this thread. > it possible/useful to hand over the memory size (or is this for vm86 > special?) One possible fix is doing it all in the loader. I prefer to do it only in the kernel, since vm86 calls need to work for other reasons.
