I was to deinstall and reinstall Bolitare card game. But I re-realized that although I can see CDROM when I choose to boot from LiveCD, after install, I cannot.
Important line: attempting to use the GCDROM CD driver, error #255 - failed Here is the logs when I start from hard disk: JemmEx v5.85 [01/09/25] System memory found at c000-fbff, region might be in use JemmEx loaded UMBs unavailable!

Welcome to the FreeDOS 1.4-RC3 operating system (http://www.freedos.org) C:\>logger print off BTW: I note DOSLFN 0.41f (haftmann#software & jmh 4/2022): loaded consuming 11824 bytes. which break my theory about DOSLFN not loaded explaining bolitare not starting for me (works for Jim). Again my line to start QEMU: qemu-system-i386 -enable-kvm -m 48 -device ide-hd,drive=myhd,bootindex=2 -drive file=hd.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=myhd,media=disk -device ide-cd,drive=mydvd,bootindex=1 -drive file=FD14LIVE.iso,format=raw,id=mydvd,if=none,media=cdrom -audiodev pa,id=mysnd -device sb16,audiodev=mysnd -device adlib,audiodev=mysnd -machine pcspk-audiodev=mysnd -net nic,model=pcnet -net user -display sdl Booting with simplified: paul@fedora:~/1.4RC3$ qemu-system-i386 -enable-kvm -m 48 -hda hd.qcow2 -cdrom FD14LIVE.iso seems to give same result. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
