Some time ago, I maxed my 486-25 systems RAM from 20MB to 32MB RAM. The first thing that happened was that EMM386.EXE hung during memory testing, unless I disabled cache for RAM above 16MB in the CMOS settings.
I've tried to troubleshoot a bit. Everything seems to work fine with the new RAM modules in the old 20MB configuration, and swapping the modules of the two banks in a 32MB config doesn't change much.
Has anyone experienced something like this before?
While just sticking to disabling cache for half the memory might work fine for now, I'd love to know why enabling cache for everything fails with EMM386.EXE.
