I spent quite a frustrating evening yesterday in running a old foxpro
compiled program under dosemu for a friend. Basic configuration was easy
and the program ran but at odd times and at seemingly random places it
would just hang!
Various settings and configurations did not solve the problem. It was
only when I recalled that the same program running on my home machine
never gave this trouble and that the home machine only runs plain
vanilla install of RH9 while this machine having latest P4-2.6 ran RH9
under SMP (Hyper threading) Changing the boot to non-SMP kernel made the
program run as it was intended to run without any problems / hang(up)!
Now the question...how can dos programs be run under SMP mode as this
mode is supposed to be the most efficient and so my friend desires that
we should be able to run this mode to take most advantage of the SMP
kernel.
I am google'ing but pointers would be welcome.
