Er, 486 != XT hardware.

I still have my original XT sitting on a shelf.  It has a replacement
motherboard with a 10 *mhz* NEC V20 CPU, a Hercules graphics card, and
two Seagate ST-225 20 *MB* MFM hard drives connected to an add-on
controller card.  (They pre-date IDE.)

If the target is genuine XT hardware, I'm not surprised if a more
recent CHKDSK will fail to run.  Among other reasons, it's likely
compiled to run on >386 CPUs, and simply won't execute on anything
earlier.
