#251 cannot run elder scrolls arena (cd version or demo) - gentoo

[segmentation fault]

hello

i have a 32-bit system with gentoo installed on it.
i emerged dosemu, and tried to run elder scrolls are with no success
here are my results:

with the cd-rom version:
-mounted the iso file under my home directory to arena_iso
-commented the old cdrom line in autoexec.bat and added one with the mounted directory so it looks like this;

@echo off

rem autoexec.bat for DOSEMU + FreeDOS

path z:\bin;z:\gnu;z:\dosemu

set HELPPATH=z:\help

set TEMP=c:\tmp

blaster

prompt $P$G

unix -s DOSDRIVE_D

if "%DOSDRIVE_D%" == "" goto nodrived

lredir del d: > nul

lredir d: linux\fs%DOSDRIVE_D%

:nodrived

rem uncomment to load another bitmap font

rem loadhi display con=(vga,437,2)

rem mode con codepage prepare=((850) z:\cpi\ega.cpx)

rem mode con codepage select 850

rem chcp 850

rem lredir e: linux\fs/media/cdrom c

lredir e: linux\fs/home/liderc/arena_iso/ c

unix -s DOSEMU_VERSION

echo "Welcome to dosemu %DOSEMU_VERSION%!"

unix -e

-started xdosemu-> e:->install
-game is installed, directory automaticlly changes to c:/arena_cd
-type arena to run the game, i get a black screen and the following error:

Nope REP F3,CSP = 0x00a5
ERROR: general protection at 0xa19c: f3

-then the game crashes

tried the demo version too:
-can be downloaded from here: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Arena:Files
-basically unzipped everything to a directory in c:, then entered it, then started the game with a.exe
-the title screen comes up, then goes black, then no response at all

some notes:
-i have no .dosemurc in my /home dir as gentoo did not create one
-i think my dosemu came with freedos 1.0, tried to update it but found no easy way for it
-the game i think is considered abandonware, so i think its safe to post links:
-the full floppy version of the game can be downloaded here: http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/the-elder-scrolls-arena/
-the cdrom version can be downloaded here: http://www.emuparadise.org/Abandonware_Games/Elder_Scrolls,The_Arena_Deluxe_CD%281995%29%28Bethesda_Software%29/93222-download
