can you please try the binary distribution
ftp://ftp.dosemu.org/dosemu/dosemu-0.98.8-1.i386.rpm
(its sufficient to just replace the /usr/bin/dos binary)
and report back.

This is normal and is the way DOSEMU works: looping through vm86.
( and yes, its normal to return '-1 ENOSYS' )

No, the 'new' vm86-interface is in since _ages_ (linux-2.0.28).

instead of 'SYS_166()' ;-)
