Description Jason Ahrens 2004-03-06 07:30:41 UTC 
bochs 2.1.1 will die while installing wini98se. There is a work around to this listing in bochs bug 891633.

During the win98se install, bochs reports: 
02839990390p[CPU0 ] >>PANIC<< RDMSR: Unknown register 0x17

Developer reports that adding "--enable-ignore-bad-msr" to 'configure' command will work around.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Win98se in bochs
2. During Device Database building and detection, Win98se BSOD or bochs will outright die.

Actual Results:  
Bochs dies.

Expected Results:  
Win98se install should continue.
