Last week I posted the following problem;

######

Have installed dosemu.60 (actually it came on the Red Hat
3.0 installation) and am having problems reading the floppy.

Get the following error;

ERROR: can't get floppy parameter of /dev/fd0 (Interrupted system call)
error exit: (5,0x0005) in_sigsegv: 0 ignore_segv: 0
Not a good day to die!!!!!

Now I'm booting off the C: drive and can access files on it
with no problem. dev/fd0 does exist and I can't mount it and
read it under linux with no problem.

Any helpful thoughts?

Today I installed Red Hat 4 (Kernel 2.0.12) and it
works. Same dosemu.conf as before (I checked the date).
Go figure.

Was going to suggest getting 2.0.27 and dosemu-0.65.0.2.tgz
(tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/ALPHA/dosemu/Development). It has a patch for
2.0.27 that elimintes the need to install modules, i.e ./configure, make
, make install and run dos, having first patched, recompiled and
rebooted on the new kernel.

Hi.

I had the same problem and I am waiting for an answer, too.

I tried to put a line like :
------
setfdprm -p /dev/fd0 1440/1440
-----
in my boot.local file. Since that time I can format floppies and sometimes
the disk access under dosemu seems to work. But not everytime !

If you get an answer, please let me know !

Thanx, Volker.
