    I can confirm a crash for VMware Player 3.1.4, but I'm able to continue after pressing [Escape]. Actually the crash output is from JemmEx: Exception 06 occured at CS:EIP=0EDD:0000150C. CS:EIP points to 0F 00 00 A0 A0 05 03 07. This hex string is inside KEYBOARD.SYS. Adding options "NOVME NOINVLPG" to FDCONFIG.SYS and rebuilding the ISO doesn't help.

    There may be a regression with the 2.6 (circa 2009) KEYB*.SYS files. I too had mysterious crashes until I reverted to 2006's (2.5) older version. Of course, this may be something else completely, but it's worth noting just in case. Anyways, Aitor may release a new KEYB (2.1 ?) during the summer, so we'd best wait for that.

    Problem still present with test release #3 (fd11tst3.iso).

    Please try with KEYB 2.01 and report (it may have been one of the bugs fixed there).
    I leave it as pending test.

    Upon editting, bug tracker doesn't like the group to be an empty field, and it got assigned to FreeDOS 1.2.
    Still pending testing.

    This should be fixed with FD 1.3 and the most actual version FDT24xx that can be downloaded here: https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/test/
    In some special cases you have to add a /e when invoking mkeyb in fdauto.bat.
    I think this thread can be closed.
