This error also occurs also with Suse 11.3 and Suse 11.2. Last time it worked was I think in 10.3. When I install SuSE 11.4 RC2 on a multi boot system, containing a Windows 95 partition. The bootloader recognizes a windows system and offers to boot Windows. When I try to boot Windows 95 an error message is displayed: HIMEM.SYS is missing. This error message is misleading since the same Windows partition can be booted without problems for example with older Suse installations or with Debian 5.0. I think it is related to the Grub version. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Windows 95 on some partition. 2. Install Suse 11.4 RC2 in some other partition 3. The boot loader offers to boot Windows 4. Try to boot Windows Actual Results: When you try to boot Windows an error message appears: HIMEM.SYS is missing. Expected Results: Windows is up and running. I observed the problem on following configuration: AMD K6 CPU on ASUS P5AB mainboard. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
