I have a Gateway 386/33MHz w/ 4Mb (Micronics motherboard) and a
Diamond Speedstar (Tseng ET4000) VGA card.  I have had a serious
problem with QEMM (v. 5.12) rebooting the machine when it tries to
load.  After a fair amount of experimentation, I have found that:

device=qemm.sys x=a000-ffff i=c800-dfff fr=d000-dfff ram

seems to work correctly all the time.  But this limits me to 32K
(c800-cfff) of available high RAM once I allocate 64K for the frame
buffer (d000-dfff).

Any time I have tried to include memory from e000-efff, or from
B000-b7ff, the machine will reboot when trying to load qemm.`

Does anyone know why this is happening, and/or how I could get more
high RAM from qemm?
