Hmm.... I used to have a copy of the CVS off of lightning.fastxs.net (as described on the plex86.org), but that seems to have disappeared. So I got the tree off of www.plex86.org. It seems like nothing has changed for months... the last changed file is gui/curses.cc from sept 11th, 2001??? Ran ./configure and make and all seemed well. Loaded the kernel module, no problem. Then prepared a directory with tomsrtbt (a small, floppy based distribution, in case you don't know), a configuration file (used conf/linuxhd, removed the diskc definition, made floppya point to tomsrtbt and removed bochs-init), added a link to the plex86 executable and the plugins directory. Running it produced the following output:
Processing command-line options Opening VM (/dev/plex86) Processing config file linuxhd...

I never got any sensible remark about the problem above. As a note, this system contains an AMD Duron, perhaps that's just enough different in some aspect that it breaks plex? I'll be moving shortly. After that, I'll try this on a real pentium, and check whether that makes a difference. gcc version 2.95.4 (Debian prerelease) kernel 2.4.16 I'm actually hoping for a long time already to use (however slow) plex86, but the above problem has been a big showstopper for me.
