pharmer do you use an nForce system by any chance ? if so you may find the following thread relevant. [edit - just realised you said AMD chipset but the same principle may apply]
nForce2 has abandoned support for EMM and you have to stop the boot process from filling the memory locations with bios driver code for different stuff eg disabling various things like ethernet would get it running for you by freeing up EMM.

yaay !
it runs nice and fast with sound now
I had to disable USB keyboard support and the mac lan(nVidia) in BIOS integrated peripherals
then I had to instal VDMSound 2.04 and I turned off DPMI in AUTOEXEC.VDMS for luck (actually this is essential)
quote:
REM Install DPMI support
REM lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx.exe
then I had to run the Instal.exe and Orion.exe with VDMS using right click on the exe, and then I had to configure for Soundblaster Original with port 220 and IRQ 7 and other thing (1) because it runs slow unless you get the sound card right.
I am still double checking the critical elements, brb.
Edit checked, runs better without any pif fiddles (ie not Win95 compatible mode)
