Try to start it with 192 and check the sytem monitor in Ubuntu how your system is reacting.

Well yea that's the problem Win2kPro/WinXP-Pro needs atleast 512 MB to run smoothly but with this emulator i would give it 1 GB of ram if you have it. As for win98 not running smoothly on 100 mb well no because beck in the days all i had was 32 mb and 64 mb and had no problems. Oh another way to speed up Win4Lin Pro is to increase the page file plus give Win4Lin Pro atleast 512MB of your memory.

Wow! Lunde, you are awesome.

Sometimes it's the stupidest thing, my bad...I've gotten alot further than I did before, but I've had to use a specific method now. I tried to do this in user mode, but I got an error that looks permission orientated:

Warning: could not open /home/ouroboros/qemu-0.7.2/kqemu/kqemu.mod.c: No such file or directory

And sure enough the permissions were reset by something, so I tried a few ways with chmod 755 on all files in qemu and kqemu before and after .configure, but I always ended up with that same message...and it's there, the file does certainly exist and no typos this time.

By the way, I just cp'd that typo file with the correct format and it worked fine, passed that part.

Now I went to root, chmod 755'd qemu and kqemu dir's before and after ./configure ---blahblahx86 stuff, and during make install I get REAL further, but that message still appears midway during kqemu install this time :

There's got to be something simple now at this juncture...I'm in high hopes!

Any further assistance is greatly appreciated in advance!

I can see that some of the files under your kqemu dir are in the root group, but this file is not. Try to chgrp and then do the chmod again on this specific file
-rw-r--r-- 1 ouroboros ouroboros 1582 2005-11-02 11:45 kqemu.mod.c

Strange if this helps, but stranger things has happend

Ughck...it's a hanging deathtrap it is...my head is pounding, I'm going to sleep finally. I tried everything but reformatting and starting the whole silly OS from scratch.

started a brand new source directory, root only.

new commands used this round :

./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --enable-adlib --cc=gcc-3.4 --host-cc=gcc-3.4

Now even with this beefcake, I still get the same weird "not found" message as mentioned previous.

Upon make clean from ./kqemu dir, I notice that the file in question gets rm'd ... soooo yeah. The thing gets rm'd, and make doesn't find the file...then somehow magically creates it after the fact it couldn't find the silly .c output module. Bah!

On a whim, I did touch kqemu/kqemu.mod.c, plus chgrp/chmod'd it up, and now instead of kqemu.mod.c being "not found" - make does :

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ouroboros/source/qemu-0.7.2/x86_64-softmmu'
make -C kqemu

What in the nuggets of the backside is it saying "Success" for?!

Foiled again!

I tried at some points to force the linux-headers-2.6.10-5-amd64-xeon stuff to stick to gcc-3.4 only...boy was that useless.

I also tried from scratch using chgrp root, and chown 755, chown 777 on the file, etc...g'nite.
