Subject: [Qemu-devel] Any progress with fixing Windows on Windows builds?
Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2005 14:28:06 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <001501c52bf9$0a8a1600$334d21d1@computername> (raw)
I've been gone for a few weeks and I was wondering if there had been any progress in fixing the Windows on Windows problems.
Problems like:
1) unable to reliably change the cd image during windows install, meaning unable to verify upgrade install.
2) Windows installation itself giving a blue screen.
And so on.
I did a very quick check with the 20050313a windows build from FreeOSZoo, and it doesn't look like anything has been fixed. (I certainly didn't do as much testing as I did some weeks ago when I commented in here about the problems.)
Is anybody even investigating these problems?
Currently Qemu is pretty useless for windows host users.... Even freeDOS & Dr.DOS don't even really run right. MSDOS 6 seems to, but I didn't do enough testing back then to be sure.
Considering that supposedly Windows (and all these other OS's) can install under Qemu running on Linux, then I would tend to suspect that it might be some Windows specific code in qemu that's the problem. Or maybe the compiler. Or maybe sdl....
I don't know enough about qemu to really know for sure, though.
Maybe you Linux developers need to install Windows (perhaps under vmware, if you don't have a spare partition?) and start doing a bit of testing of the windows builds.
