[opensuse] wine and DOSMEM_MapDosLayout Need full access to the first megabyte for DOS mode
Hello: I would like to install an old Windows 98 application in wine. When I try to run wine INSTALL.EXE I get: err:dosmem:DOSMEM_MapDosLayout Need full access to the first megabyte for DOS mode I found at winehq forums that setting vm.mmap_min_addr=0 (by running /sbin/sysctl vm.mmap_min_addr=0) fixes this problem on ubuntu, but it have not had any effect on my system. (I've even added "vm.mmap_min_addr = 0" to /etc/sysctl.conf file and rebooted the computer.) I have openSUSE 11.2 and wine-1.1.28-2.3. Any idea on how I could fix this?

If your application is really running in DOS-mode, maybe try dosbox instead of wine? I don't know if this is really an option, Win98 was a long time ago. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-2.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You need to turn off apparmor, too (boot with apparmor=0, iirc). apparmor and selinux override the vm.mmap_min_addr setting.
