[Bochs-developers] [FAQ ???] win98se pnp detection crash

[Nicolas E. <nic...@ac...>]

Hi, 
 
here's my config : 
 
Host : FreeBSD 5.0 P4 1,8 GHz 256Mo 
Guest : Win98 SE 
 
I read the manual, and used the second clean and long method. I created 
the hd image, the cd iso image, and it all worked fine. 
The installation takes ages, but it does work. 
 
After the first reboot comes the time for win98se to try the plug and play 
autodetection, and there comes the problems. It crashes bochs. 
I read many archives, and I read to disable the 'pit: realtime' parameter. 
Then I also read to ignore the 'panic actions'. 
 
I used that, and indeed, I went some steps further. 
 
But though the last reboot launches the win logo with the blue moving bar 
at the bottom of the screen, it doesn't move further. 
The CPU is at its top, the blue bar is still moving, but stays in this 
state for hours. 
 
So, may you explain me the best way to get help : 
- send you some gigabit of logs ? 
- send you my config file ? (at the bottom of this speech) 
- send you all my love, and expect some kind and helpful replies ;o) 
 
Well, next, I'll have some questions about NICs for openbsd guest, but 
let's do it step by step. 
 
See you, and thank you.
