Title:
  qemu freeze when loading msdos with EMM386.EXE NOEMS HIGHSCAN

Status in QEMU:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Qemu version used : 0.11.2 and 0.14.0
  Guest : Ms-Dos 6.2
  Host : Ubuntu 10.04 with 2.6.32-29-generic SMP i686
  Starting Qemu with command : qemu -hda dos.img -cpu 486 -m 16

  When I start msDos under Qemu with the option (in CONFIG.SYS) 
  DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS HIGHSCAN
  the guest freeze.
  If I remove "HIGHSCAN" system is booting (but my software is not working).

  The whole thing is working on a real computer with a 486 with 16Mb ram
  or a PII.

  "HIGHSCAN switch allows EMM386.EXE to map expanded memory pages or
  upper memory blocks (UMBs) over portions of the upper memory area
  (UMA) used by system read-only memory " from
  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/96522/en-us

  I add some traces inside "default_ioport_read" in ioport.c, but I
  don't see any access to F000h-F7FFh like said in ms help.

  Before the system hung, there is access to dma1, dma page register and
  dma2 :
