Slight problem with starting xdosemu

Slight problem with starting xdosemu

[Wesley Parish]

Here it is:
[wparish@localhost wparish]$ xdosemu &
[1] 3371
[wparish@localhost wparish]$ xdosemu &ERROR: general protection at 0x12fbf: 0
[wparish@localhost wparish]$ xdosemu &
[2] 3406
[1]   Exit 4                  xdosemu
[wparish@localhost wparish]$ ERROR: general protection at 0x12fbf: 0

[2]+  Exit 4                  xdosemu


Anything I should be doing?

This is my setup:
[wparish@localhost wparish]$ uname -a
Linux localhost 2.6.3-7mdk #1 Wed Mar 17 15:56:42 CET 2004 i686 Celeron 
(Coppermine) unknown GNU/Linux

Thanks

how did you install dosemu, did you download the latest tar file and 
compile it?  Also, why are you using the & with the command, you do want 
to run dosemu in the foreground right?

It's a rpm I downloaded, dosemu-1.2-1.i386.rpm

I'm running it under X, launching it from konsole.  I tried it without '&' and 
it still gave me the general protection fault at 0x12fbf

Right, it is not needed.

Dosemu is unsupported on such a horribly
outdated 2.6 kernels. Even though using
the newer dosemu (1.3.2 or CVS) may still
help.

I've compiled and installed dosemu-1.3.2 now.  Problem now is, it starts up up 
till:
//
[wparish@localhost wparish]$ dosemu

   Note that DOS needs 25 lines. You might want to enlarge your
   window before continuing.


   Now type ENTER to start DOSEMU or <Ctrl>C to cancel

In file included from built-in global.conf:841
                 from built-in global.conf:699
Error in built-in global.conf: (line 838) 
Disk-device/file /var/lib/dosemu/drives/c doesn't exist.
1 error(s) detected while parsing the configuration-file
//

Any ideas?

Thanks

You should remove any traces of the old
dosemu, namely the ~/.dosemu directory.
But the error message is slightly misleading,
it refers to an old, deprecated path. Would
be nice to have that corrected.

Thanks.

I'll keep you all posted on progress.  (Maybe I should have a look at that 
config file misconfig? :-)
