2008-10-22 17:12:30 Josh Leahy dosemu: title Bug #216398 in dosemu (Ubuntu): "dosemu segfaults on startup" Bug #216398 in procps (Ubuntu): "dosemu segfaults on startup"
2008-10-22 22:34:01 Josh Leahy description When I start dosemu, I get the following, only: $ dosemu LOWRAM mmap: Invalid argument Segmentation fault (core dumped) I use latest hardy on 3 different machines (both ix32 and amd64), tried the console as well as X11, with the same result. The last time I'm certain it worked was 2008-03-26. Some dependency must have borked dosemu. Google didn't help. Default value of mmap_min_addr is set to 64kb, which breaks many different userland applications, including dosemu, wine and hardware virtualisation. Should be set to zero, as recommended by LKML when feature was introduced. As originally reported by pivo: """ When I start dosemu, I get the following, only: $ dosemu LOWRAM mmap: Invalid argument Segmentation fault (core dumped) I use latest hardy on 3 different machines (both ix32 and amd64), tried the console as well as X11, with the same result.
