No problem.  I run with a 386sx and an XT controler all the time.

What you need is a one-line change to the protected-mode gate table
in kernel/protect.c, line 148.  Change it from:

gate_table[] = {
[...]
	prs232_int, RS232_VECTOR, INTR_PRIVILEGE,
	disk_int, FLOPPY_VECTOR, INTR_PRIVILEGE,
	lpr_int, PRINTER_VECTOR, INTR_PRIVILEGE,
	wini_int, AT_WINI_VECTOR, INTR_PRIVILEGE,
  };

AT_WINI_VECTOR should become XT_WINI_VECTOR.

One of the guys in Australia first posted about this fix.
