Thanks for trying this.

It seems that we are shooting in the dark here, and we need some
reality checks.  Martin, could you please describe your system
configuration (hardware, memory manager, CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT,
etc.) where these crashes happen?

If you could play with your system configuration and see what
parameters have any effect on this problem, it might also help.  For
example, if the BIOS have a setting to shadow some of the ROM, or if
the memory manager has parameters which exclude/include certain memory
areas, try changing them.

The reason I'm asking for all this is that I think A20 and the HMA are
enabled on every system that can remap BIOS.  So I don't see how
enabling it again could help.  If I'm right, then we might be looking
in the wrong place.
