[Qemu-devel] KQEMU and Win98

[Tony Watts]

Hi

I updated to the new version with KQEMU and I have problems running QEMU 
when the module is loaded. I am running Mandrake 10.2 with kernel 
2.6.8.1-24, the guest system is Win98.

It runs fine when not using the acceleration, but when I run it with the 
acceleration I get a very unhelpful "windows protection error". I have 
tried reinstallation, different amounts of memory and leaving the 
enable-sound and user-net out of the command line. This is my standard 
command line.

/opt/bin/qemu -hda /mnt/oldlin2/harddisk.img -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot c 
-m 256 -enable-audio -user-net -localtime

I ran step-by-step startup and it seemed to load all the drivers fine, 
last one was msmouse.vxd then it went blank and then the protection 
fault. I can send that bootlog from win98 but am willing to dig deeper 
if someone can give me a pointer on how to obtain some debugging info.

Great product :)

Tony

The windows 9x as guest is a known problem to Fabrice and he is working on it..

Thanks,

Do we have any clear idea of why this fails?  Is it something to do with
MS mixing 16/32bit code?  I also am happy to do whatever is necessary to
debug and make it work.  Interestingly, whilst safe mode doesn't work,
booting to the Win98 command prompt does.

Cheers,
D
