Hi: I had used Dosemu back with SUSE 8.2 and it was fine. I now need to update a POS software I developed back then so I installed Dosemu from DVD. It seems to work ok, but after a few minuytes, my whole system locks up, and the only way out is a hard reset. Could somebody advise as to what version of Dosemu should work with SUSE 9.3? Sad thing is, I have not even begun to install my dos compiler yet! Google for the solution but it seems I'm alone in this. Thank you and regards. -- Alfredo Cole-Tuckler

Not exactly the answer you need, but be sure to look into dosbox as well. We use it to run various compilers on Linux - even from makefiles. Even an OS/2 TI DSP compiler. It comes with SUSE. It is targeted at running DOS games. But it is quite usable for other things, as stated. -- Roger

I did try it, and thought it would work. But the fact that it will not recognize my Spanish keyboard makes it a problem. For instance, I can not switch to disk C: because I can not get it to print colon (:) after the drive letter. Even Dosemu has to be mapped to Spanish keyboard, and I can not find the keyb command under dosbox. As a matter of fact, I can not type the '/' either (and some other indispensable keys). Your suggestions would be appreciated. Regards. -- Alfredo Cole-Tuckler

I set up the drives on the command line. I do not use it interactively. I use it to cross-compile some applications that we have an OS/2 compiler for. Would your application involve someone changing drives via the keyboard? Or is that only when compiling the app? -- Roger

This won't help you much but I ran dosemu (as distributed) on 9.3 and had no problems. Now running it on 10.0 with no problems.

Funny. I downloaded 1.3.3 and installed it. Same problem. I have a copy of Win4Lin. I'll try that. Thank you. Regards. -- Alfredo Cole-Tuckler

You might want to do a gdb backtrace. It might help to pin point the problem.

I haven't use dosemu in a long time- I am using qemu these days: http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/about.html You might want to give it a spin. Charles -- lp1 on fire (One of the more obfuscated kernel messages)
