Weird issues installing Windows 95 inside Tiny386 on Linux host

[SoftwareGuy]

Here's two errors that occurred to me tonight while installing Windows 95 OSR 2.5 from inside the emulator:

SUWIN Application Error

This was triggered when trying to launch setup when Tiny386 is using a 386 generation CPU setting and 16MB of memory:

Might be a setup bug than a Tiny386 thing? Configuration for this error:

[pc]
bios = ../bios.bin
vga_bios = ../vgabios.bin
mem_size = 16M
vga_mem_size = 2M
; win95 boot disk
fda = disk01.img
hda = hda.img
cdb = Win95_OSR25.iso
fill_cmos = 1

[display]
width = 720
height = 480

[cpu]
gen = 3
fpu = 0

0 Bytes of Memory

Not sure about this one, seems to be caused by letting the installer inspect all the hardware options. I think I had the above config but gen = 4 was set. Unimplemented call or something?

SUWIN Application Error

with gen = 3, I can install win95 osr2 without triggering any errors. I haven't test osr2.5, but I think maybe it requires some 486 instructions to run.

0 Bytes of Memory

Just use setup /im to bypass memory check.

Update: I have downloaded osr2.5 and installed with gen = 3 successfully. So the osr2.5 "SUWIN" error is not related to 486.

Interesting. It may have been because I was using the tiny386_kvm binary instead of pure software CPU emulation. Will retry that.
