Here is what I tried: Stock usermode 1.0.2.1 binaries and hdimage from dosemu.org. Make $_console = (1) and $_com1 = "virtual" in dosemu.conf - the result is: ./dosemu: line 386: 4308 Segmentation fault $BINARY $MAINARGS "${par[@]}" 2>$LOG I came across this problem in the archives, amd the only suggestion I could find was to upgrade the linux kernel. I was trying this on a 2.4.18 Debian 3.0 box, so I tried on another that was using 2.4.20 and got exactly the same results. For us, using the 2.5 unstable series of kernel is not possible - but surely there must be some way of getting things to work under 2.4 current? If it helps any, here is an example hardware configuration: Debian 3.0 on 2.4.20 kernel, Tyan 2466 board with dual Athlon MP 2000+'s and 1gb of ram. I have also tried this similar procedure on other boxes with differing specs and distributions (RedHat and Crux so far) and had almost the same result. Am I missing something? Please clue me in. Thanks for your attention. -Pawel Szymczykowski P.S. Also, I tried the development version of dosemu, but couldn't get it to work (even without vmodem - it had a configuration file error of some sort).. though thanks to the archives, I think I know what I need to do to make it work now.. guess I will have to give it a try later.. though would really prefer to stick with stable versions if at all possible. --bound1050210981--
