I'm currently building qemu from CVS code several times a week, but I never had DOS related problems. The guest OS is Win98 SE and I use the DOS command prompt quite often. What are you doing, when it crashes qemu? Does this occur randomly or when running special programs/typing special commands? Inspired by your e-mail I did some tests with the first "heavy" DOS application that came to my mind: FastTracker 2.09 - Ok, qemu is too slow to produce some enjoyable sound with it, but despite of this everything seemed to work well. While the track was running, I played around in the audio settings of FastTracker to tweak it a bit - and indeed: qemu crashed. Unfortunately, I couldn't reproduce this. Maybe it's just a bug in the SoundBlaster emulation which hasn't been totally completed yet? My host is an iMac G5 with Mac OS 10.4.3 and Xcode 2.2 installed. I use the following options to configure the build: configure --prefix=/usr/local --cc=gcc-3.3 --host-cc=gcc-3.3 --target- list=i386-softmmu --enable-coreaudio --enable-cocoa Btw: Using "--cc=gcc" (which is gcc 4.0.2) also works fine. I haven't tried FreeDOS yet, but if you like, you can point me to an image and give me some detailed instructions to reproduce the himem and xms issues. Sincerely Jo.
