[Plex86-devel] Guest OS Crashes

[dhruv anand]

Dear Readers,

I use Red hat Linux as my host OS (RedHat 7.3 Kernel: 2.4.18-3) on a x86
platform. (P3-900 Mhz, 64 MB ram)

I try loading Linux with a boot floppy having the same kernel image
version mentioned above. Please refer the following lines which are a
part of my config file.

************************************************************************
plugin = ./plugins/bochs/plugin-bochs.so
bochs-opt boot: a
bochs-opt floppya: 1_44="/dev/fd0", status=inserted
#bochs-opt diskc: file="/dev/fd0", cyl=20, heads=16, spt=23

************************************************************************

Installation of Guest linux OS from the bootable floppy crashes,
following is the snapshot from the terminal window

Please throw some light on this.
