Dosemu working flawlessly on one computer, but not on another one.

Dosemu working flawlessly on one computer, but not on another one.

[Javier Tarifa]

We've been using for a while dosemu in a server running fedora core 8 
and after ditching freedos and installing ms-dos 6.22 everything is 
running fine.
Now that we're adding a lot more users we need a second server but 
exactly the same version and configuration of dosemu is not working on 
the new one. It's running Fedora Core 10; MS-DOS boots and simple 
programs seem to be working (edit, the dosemu utilities, etc), but the 
program we need to use simply hangs when it's starting.  Other programs 
seem to have problems. For example, pkzip/pkunzip won't run saying: 
"DPMI: Unhandled Exception 0e - Terminating Client" when it's using 
freedos or "DPMI: Unhandled Exception 06 - Terminating Client" when it's 
using ms-dos 6.22.
The two are  64 bits, so there's no difference there.
Any ideas of what can it be ?

    Try to compare the .dosemu/boot.log files of both versions to see if 
anything is different.
    Hope this helps.
    Good luck.

It was my fault. This was a multilib system and I had installed the 
glibc.i686 package but was using a 386 compiled dosemu binary. 
Installing the glibc.i386 package did the trick. Strange though that 
some things worked but some things did not.
