>Description:
A korean made Laptop does a register dump instead of booting.
Running:
486SLC2-50MHz 
CHIPS SCATsx/PEAKsx BIOS Version 128

MFG: NAE WAE Semiconductor Co., LTD.
Model: INEX 4150
system has 8 megs of RAM
-------------------------------
I can type the register dump in to the PR, if it will help.
The system does report:
int=0000000d    err=00000000 ....
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot with an installation floppies of any of the following version:
3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 4.0, 4.1

The register dump does vary slightly from version to version.
>Fix:
System does boot from a 2.2.7 diskette.
This seems to suggest something from 3.0 on is causing the problem.
This could caused by a CPU test or some other boot related test/probe.
If someone is willing to work on it, the laptop could be made
available for testing. Currently, it is scheduled to become
the SVBUG "club computer" for club meetings.
