Description Robert Gill 2024-04-10 20:18:04 UTC
dosemu crashes on some older hardware when running sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-6.6.21, runs fine on other hardware. I'm certain this is an upstream issue, I'll post another bug report upstream.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Run dosemu on some hardware with kernel 6.6.21 or more recent.
Actual Results:  
dosemu immediately crashes with a general protection fault
kernel: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI

Expected Results:  
dosemu should run without crashing

I'm including attachments describing the hardware it runs on and the hardware it fails on, as well as crash reports from the hardware where it fails. host01 is the system it runs on, it's currently running kernel version 6.6.21.

kernel@ should be cc'd :)
Comment 10 Andrey Aleksandrovich 2024-10-31 17:49:03 UTC
dosemu-1.4.1_pre20130107-r5
6.6.58-gentoo-r1

user@host $ dosemu
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
user@host $

Looks like it's not fixed.

It's running fine on all of my hardware with kernel 6.6.58, which were having issues before.
