Hello all,
I started experimenting with bochs and plex86 this week. I've had
some success getting a Windows 98 running under bochs (yes, it took
a VERY long time to do the Windows 98 install). I can get my
bochs Win98 to boot in safe mode under plex86.
I'm running Redhat 7.2 on a PII 400, GCC 2.95.3 that I built
using Gcc 3.0 I found on the web (2.96 seems to cause so many
problems)
Unfortunately I didn't keep great notes on my failures, so I'm not all
that sure that one needs to be set up as I currently am to get it done.

bochs-1.4.1
./configure --with-gui=sdl
Used bximage to create a 600MB image file.
Booted bochs from a Windows 98 startup disk I created on a Win98
box. Option "start computer with CDROM support".
Fdisk and format C:
Did the installation with the "most common components".
Bochs chugged along fine - did all of the plug and play detection.
I can now boot into win98 via bochs and work VERY slowly.
I installed TweakGUI on Win98 under bochs, and used it to set win98
to alway give me the boot menu - very handy.
Copied the disk image to cdrom for safe keeping, and started
working with plex98.
Got the latest plex98 from cvs,
./configure
make
Copied ./conf/win95 to /conf/win98
Pointed at my 600MB disk image.
one other change -
# number of megabytes for vm
memory = 32
First attempt to boot in "normal mode",
Plex86 display's the splash screen. but plex86 dies trying
to detect my monitor.
Next attempt - boot in "safe mode":
I load Windows 98 all the way (in 16 color vga mode or course).
Next attempt - boot in normal mode again:
::plex86 panic:
::retnear_iw: EIP > limit
Fatal monitor error caused Panic
Suggestions?
I'm grabbing some screen shots (And I should put them where?).
