OK, no special settings, just disabled
$_pci and $_chipset="plainvga".
To make your test more valuable, please
apply the attached patch. It disallows
any IO except for that was granted by
ioperm() for v86 mode.
This patch will prevent dosemu from
cleaning the screen properly, so avoid
killing it while in graphics mode (or
keep your X ready to switch there).
Apply this patch without anything else
like post-less "cost-less" init to 1.1.3.7.
If this, by any chance, also makes the
lock-ups to go away, then we are dealing with
some very bad bug. This patch will
produce a lot of output in your boot.log
or console or whatever you are using to
get an output from dosemu, send this log
to me.
But if you have lock-ups also with that
patch... then is seems that only touching
the VGA registers is already enough to lock
up the entire system with some video cards:(
In that case the post-less init looks like
the only solution.
