SYMPTOM:

After the SLC device driver loaded in CONFIG.SYS, the computer hung
and required a hard reboot.

CAUSE:

By booting the machine and pressing F8, the user was able to pinpoint
the problem as the EMM386.EXE file.

This device driver is required so that DOS will recognize the 386
upgrade.  So, this should not be considered a "bug" because the
driver needs to be present before EMM386.EXE can recognize the
machine as a 386.

SOLUTION:

Moving the SLC driver to the beginning of CONFIG.SYS file solved the
problem.
