 I've been using Stacker quite happily for some time now, but have
 recently had a problem using it and Qemm together.  When I install
 Qemm (v. 6.02), it runs through it's optimization phase without problems.
 Things go downhill from there.  Whenever I boot my system, I see the
 driver message for Qemm, then it reboots itself endlessly.  The driver
 for stacker is the first thing in my config.sys after loading Qemm.
 I was told that Qemm might be trying to allocate some memory that Stacker
 needs to have set aside for it and that this could cause a reboot?  Not
 sure how reliable this is, so I thought I'd post this to the net.  
 The reason that I'm using Qemm is to try to load the Stacker driver 
 high and get it out of the way. (Emm386 will not load it high, apparently
 it can't find room for the 40+K tsr.).  I'm running Stacker V. 1.x on
 a 486/33 w/ 4 megs of ram.  Thanks for whatever help you can give.

I had a similar problem.  I found it best to partition my drive to c: and d:
so that my boot drive is a normal drive.  I then stacked my d: drive, making 
another e: drive.  I had a lot of trouble when my boot drive was a
stacker drive.  You should put the qemm and stacker directories on the
c: (boot) drive.  This configuration works great for me.  By the way,
you should think about upgrading to stacker 2.0.  This is all assuming
you want to reformat your drive to partition it.

Hope this helps.
