Hello, Recently, many of you wrote something like: > > How do I stop my kernel from using a piece of core?

Thank you all. I guess will solve the problem with mi_switch etc. The >16M chips appear to be buggy. I must admit that a small DOS program of mine informed me about that possibility, but I trusted all those Norton Utilities etc. which told me everything was ok (and buggy core doesn't seem to add bugs to Windows, for an obvious reason;), and assumed that core was healthy. The moral is: proprietary utilities suck; one should do everything by himself.
