System hang - memory conflict E000 MEM-SEG.
PROBLEM - Valuepoint systems may experience a hang due to memory conflicts over the
E000 memory segment. many memory managers can be configured to use this memory space.
on IBM Valuepoint and ps/2 systems, this area is reserved for POST/BIOS. Memory
managers typically make this memory area available because many competitor systems
POST/BIOS do not use this area. On Valuepoint systems (without external adapters), the
C000 and D000 memory segments are left free for use by memory managers.
Machines AFFECTED - all 6382/S, 6384/D and 6387/T running EMM386.
SOLUTION - When using EMM386, place the parameter X=E000-EFFF on the line in which
EMM386 is loaded in the CONFIG.SYS file to ensure no conflicts will exist.
Additional Information -
A new VP-2 FLASH BIOS series enables E000-EFFF to be included. The image is
downloadable from library.
