I've only tried one of the three flags that I have seen listed. I'll try the other two as well. I'll admit some ignorance in that I'm not sure how to combine flags, can they be used simultaneously? Or are the flags mutually exclusive? Do I list the flags one after the other or is there some form of addition that I need to do (like setting multiple bits)? Right now the only flag that I have tried is the broken statclock flag. The other two flags seem to force the APM into 1.1 mode (as opposed to 1.2) and it had seemed to be working in 1.2 mode up until now. My notebook is at home right now and I am at work waiting for a dump to finish. I'll play with the options tonight to see what I come up with. > Can you try building a kernel with VM86 defined and see if that works? I'm not familiar with the VM86 at all. I'll have to take a look at it. What does it do? Thanks for the help! Colin E.
