[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1342686] [NEW] Windows 95 setup hangs

[Piotr Gliźniewicz]

Public bug reported:

Windows 95 (first version, not 95A or OSR2) setup hangs on QEMU version 2.0.0. 
It was compiled from the sources on Fedora 20. 
Setup starts without problems, it goes through the first phase and then hangs 
on the "Getting ready to run Windows 95 for the first time..." screen 
(http://www.guidebookgallery.org/screenshots/win95#win95startupshutdownsplash1correctaspect).

Steps to reproduce:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 win95.img 2G
qemu -L . -machine isapc -cpu pentium -m 32 -vga std -soundhw sb16 -hda 
win95.img -cdrom POLWIN95.ISO -fda BOOT95A.IMA -boot a
after this select default options everywhere. When it asks to remove the boot 
floppy do "eject floppy0" and confirm.
It displays the "Getting ready to run Windows 95 for the first time..." and 
hangs.

The same behavior can be observed on 2.1.0-rc2. On 1.7.1 It hangs
immediately after this screen, it hangs on displaying a underscore
cursor.

I managed to complete the setup on QEMU 1.6.2.
