This working fine for several weeks, but now, it's stopped working!
loadlin gives me the following error:

  Not enough free memory between 90000h and 9ffffh,
  may be you have some zombie programs, try to reboot.
  If this doesn't help, try to find out what driver occupies this space.

I have made no changes whatsoever to loadlin or the Linux kernel.  What
could I have done to Win'95 to have messed up the memory usage like this?

Any clues appreciated.  Please e-mail.

Have a look with mem amd its options or something like mft who occupies that
region.

        I spoke with the author of Loadlin about and suggested that he
include this information in a future version.
        I hope this helps.

when using loadlin in conjunction with Win'95.  Thanks to all who replied.
It seems my problem was something to do with DoubleSpace.  After removing
the hidden file C:\DBLSPACE.INI, loadlin works flawlessly again.

Oddly enough, the DBLSPACE driver did not appear when I did a MEM /C, as a
couple of people mentioned it would.

Don't know the solution yet, but the problem shows up after you compress a
Win95 drive.

------------------------------

Well, I've installed Windows 95 today and I've received the same msg.

I tried several things and at least I've found out what causes the
problem.

It is Double Space. You can see DBLSPACE in memory if you do mem /c.
Even if you unmount your compressed drive you still get DBLSPACE
loaded at startup. I had to execute the following commands in order to
remove it from memory:

attrib -s -r -h DBLSPACE.INI
move DBLSPACE.INI DS.INI
attrib -s -r -h DBLSPACE.001
move DBLSPACE.001 DS.001

Afterwards loadlin could load linux without problems.

You may be using Drivespace.  You can look at the Drivespace help files in
order to find out how to load the drivers into high memory.  Off the top of
my head, here are the contents of my CONFIG.SYS menu for Linux:

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS  <-- Make sure that this is the right path.
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\DRVSPACE.SYS /MOVE
