I found that it's not a motherboard issue.
I'm very lazy and only tried it now.
Maybe I never even thought about trying other methods.
I found that if grub uses
kernel /memdisk
initrd /fzdos.img
it can run normally.

If using
map --mem /fzdos.img (fd0)
map --hook
chainloader (fd0)+1
rootnoverify (fd0)
or the boot made by vfloppy can't run normally.

That's it.
Haha, I'll try burning a CD later.
Will there be any problem with run (cd)\fzdos.img?

Hearing everyone say it's good, I also say it's good.
Come on!

Actually, to put it clearly, QHIMEM has given up Microsoft's "full compatibility" direction and specifically takes the route of standardization, high efficiency, and being small.

Compatibility will be compromised, which is unavoidable.

There is no need for discussion, Microsoft's HIMEM has the best compatibility.

It can also be said that if you put "all" ancient and modern Chinese and foreign BIOS materials in, and it is still incompatible, there is really a problem.

Forgot to say, this topic is already outdated because XMGR has replaced QHIMEM for a long time! I have used it for a lot of time and rarely encountered problems...

The motherboards I have used: Gigabyte GA-7VA, K8NS9, GA-MA78G-DS3H

Asking johnsonlam

"XMGR has replaced QHIMEM for a long time"
I just found out now that you mentioned it
So is there no need to use qhmem anymore, and is XMGR a complete replacement for qhimem?

Correct, it is a complete replacement.

Sorry, because I didn't translate the README.TXT, Zhang Difan's translation is also incomplete, and Brother Jack Ellis doesn't want to be too high-profile, spreading XMGR everywhere (now only distributed in China).

XMGR is the "final improved version" of QHIMEM, without the trouble of QDBOOT, it is very simple to load UMBPCI, and it also supports XMS 3.0, completely replacing HIMEM.SYS which only has XMS 2.0! (If the BIOS does not meet the standard, there is no way)
