I have a problem, and maybe someone here could help me out. I'm running
RedHat 5.2 on my i486, and I've been trying to get a few problems fixed with
dosemu 0.99.6 on my machine. One of the biggest problems is that everytime
I try and access the floppy drive, the computer locks up. If I run a dir a:
command, it gives me the directory listing of the disk, and then locks up.
The other problem is with the graphics. When I was running redhat 5.0 and
dosemu 0.66, I managed to successfully install such programs as warcraft and
the old, classic game doom and run them on my machine. Now, however, it
installs the program, but every time I try and run a setup or the program
itself, it gives me this error message:
ERROR: general protection at 0x1696f: 66
ERROR: SIGSEGV, protected insn...exiting!
I'm logged in as root when this occurs, and there's no difference in any
other account. The other problem I have seen is that when I try and use
graphics view on Word Perfect 6.0 for dos with any account EXCEPT root, it
locks up.
Being pretty new with linux, I can't figure out what exactly is going wrong,
but I'd like to be able to fix it. I've asked a few people I know, and they
can't figure it out either. I thought maybe someone there could look at it,
or hopefully even already know the problem and how to fix it. Just some
info on my system:
i486 dx2 66MHz
16Mb RAM
Trident tgui9400CXi VL-Bus chipset
1024k video ram
If you need more than this, let me know and I'll get you what I can. Thanks
for everything, and let me know if you can help me find a solution.
