[Qemu-devel] win98se guest regression

[Ben Taylor]

I have a couple of win98se guests that I keep around for testing and upgrade
tests and the like.

The current CVS code has no problem booting these images, but the first
time I do anything (like read the cdrom, or change directories in windows
explorer), the guest just hangs.  This seems like a regression.  This happens
on both iso images and real cdrom's.

I realize that Win98 is a bit old at this point, but it's so lightweight 
compared
to Win2K and WinXP,  and it's been a good test for several years.  Anyone
have an idea or seen this behavior?

Thanks,

Ben

I have tracked down the regression to ide.c V1.66.

I have a build from 9/16/07, and replaced V1.64, V1.65 and V1.66 of ide.c only
in this build.

After building all three versions, the last vesion with ide.c V.166 causes 
Win98SE
when I click on MyComputer to hang, and can only be killed by using the 
process manager.  Previous instances of ide.c compiled, and the explorer brings 
up all the
devices.

Filip - you have any ideas on this?

Thanks,
