[Qemu-devel] QEMU acceleration module and Windows 98SE

["Alexander N. Sørnes"]

Greetings,

When the QEMU accelerator module is enabled, Windows 98SE (as the guest
OS) shows a protection fault error shortly after the F8 boot menu.  The
Windows 98 installation, however, can be completed as far as to install
the files from the CD, but not run it for the first time (where you
enter your CD-key).

By the way, I am able to play Red Alert 95 at native speeds, even
without the accelerator. :)

yeah, this is a known problem. Probably due to the hybrid 16/32-bit
code with Windows 95/98/Me

Although I don't understand what you meant by "where you enter your
CD-key". Does your copy do that after initial install or something? Is
it an OEM copy? I have a retail 98SE, and I enter the CD-key with the
16-bit installation along with my name and programs to install.

Yes, it is the OEM version.  After the desired components have been
selected, and all files have been copied to the hard drive, the
installer reboots to complete the last step from the hard drive, where
it asks for the CD key and configures device drivers.  With KQEMU, this
step is not possible.
