[S.u.S.E. Linux] Dosemu Woes
I am trying to get dosemu to work. I installed the rpm and when I try to run it, I get this: 118 jesusfreak:~ > dos -A vm86plus service not available in your kernel I did a kernel recompile to try and put vm96plus in, but it didn't work. What options do I need to compile the kernel with to get this to work? - mikeh -- ============================================================================== || Mike Hostetler || || <A HREF="http://www.binary.net/thehaas"><A HREF="http://www.binary.net/thehaas</A">http://www.binary.net/thehaas</A</A>> || || email1: mhostetl@cse.unl.edu || || email2: thehaas@binary.net || ============================================================================== || `When you say "I wrote a program that crashed Windows", people just || || stare at you blankly and say "Hey, I got those with the system, || || *for free*".' - Linus Torvalds || ============================================================================== -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Seems you have a new DOSEmu and an old kernel (< 2.0.28) Please give information about the versions you use else nobody will be able to help you.

Actually, that isn't the case at all: 219 jesusfreak:~/install > uname -a Linux jesusfreak 2.0.33 #5 Wednesday May 20 00:50:31 CDT 1998 i486 unknown And I am using dosemu.rpm that is on the SuSE site. Version is 0.64, right? 220 jesusfreak:~/install > rpm -qa|grep dos dosemu-0.64.1-1 does this help? - mikeh -- ============================================================================== || Mike Hostetler || || <A HREF="http://www.binary.net/thehaas"><A HREF="http://www.binary.net/thehaas</A">http://www.binary.net/thehaas</A</A>> || || email1: mhostetl@cse.unl.edu || || email2: thehaas@binary.net || ============================================================================== || `When you say "I wrote a program that crashed Windows", people just || || stare at you blankly and say "Hey, I got those with the system, || || *for free*".' - Linus Torvalds || ============================================================================== -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Ooops, that is just an old interims version where the interface to the kernel doesn't match. Get a newer version of DOSEmu, preferrably dosemu-0.66.7.
does this help?
Yes ;-) There have been some irritations regarding the DOS-Emu around kernel 2.0.28. The DOS-Emu folks needed additional functionality the kernel didn't provide at this time. Therefore they created the emumodule which added the needed functionality to the kernel. Meanwhile the kernel has everything DOSEmu needs. You have one of the "special versions" from that time. So upgrading to a newer DOS-Emu should solve your problem.
