Re[2]: dosemu 0.60.3-1 won't run
I just want to report that I got dosemu 0.60.3-1 to work (or whichever the
version is in the Debian 1.1 stable tree is) when booting from the hdimage
instead of booting from the floppy.
I must also admit that I got the message
> ERROR: can't get floppy parameter of /dev/fd0 (Interrupted system call)
when trying to boot from the floppy, and then kicked off.

I haven't been able to get dosemu to run with Debian 1.1.4 (kernel 2.0.6)
either. Both systems I installed it on (completely different hardware)
die after the following output:

Not a good day to die!!!!!

After looking at the DOSEMU home page, I decided that it is probably a
kernel problem. They recommend dosemu-0.64.0.tgz for 2.0.x kernels.
I got that and the compile fails with the interesting message:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/Makefile', needed by `include/kversion
.h'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr3/src/dosemu-0.64.0/src'
make: *** [default] Error 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, the latest development version for 2.0.x kernels
(dosemu-0.63.1.80) compiles cleanly. I haven't been able to get it to
run yet because when I attempt to load the module "emumodule.o", I get
an error message to the effect that the package was compiled for the
2.0.0 kernel while I am running the 2.0.6 kernel. Probably something
to do with the Debian kernel header files. I just got it to compile
this morning and hope to sort out the "emumodule.o" problem this
evening when I get home from work.
BTW, the DOSEMU development work is located at:
http://www.ednet.ns.ca/auto/rddc
and the DOSEMU homepage is at:
