Try EMM386 PIC=ON to inform VCPI applications that the PIC
is not re-vectored (it still is).

Maybe thereīs a way to reconfigure your DOS extender to make
use of DPMI instead of VCPI? If so, try this.

Just for curiosity, please try to exclude all UMB memory using
the EXCLUDE= option of EMM386.EXE.

If you donīt need UMBs maybe HIMEM.SYS instead of EMM386.EXE
will help (it still provides XMS and thereby HMA support, so you
can still free up some amount of comventional memory by loading
the kernel into the HMA).

Please let us know if it helps...
