You can boot (run) the image on your pc with Qemu?

Well, here's a weird one. The image boots perfectly fine under Qemu but as soon as I open it under bochs I get the following error:

I've tried recopying it several times to no avail. Any ideas what it could be? I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the boot device setup in the bochsrc file. The error is one that exists when the windows bootloader can't find windows where it expects to.

I made a more detailed tutorial if someone wants to test it, i did kinda rip the first tutorial a little bit but added quite a bit of information and made some of it easier for people who are having problems, hopefully it is useful for people as It contains a link to the files I used to get Windows XP working on my Galaxy s2 but you will still need your own iso of Windows XP and you still have to create your own hard drive image.

Hello,

At first, sorry for my bad English.

I succesfully installed Bochs on my Xperia Neo V, and I am running Windows 95.

But sadly I am limited to 16 colors graphics. How can I set up a better graphic card emulation on Bochs to be "recognized" by Windows 95 and to install the drivers? I saw that there are adiotonal files under SDL folder, and if I am not wrong some are related to vga bios - but how can I get this stuff to work?

And I am thinkig of installing Windows 3.1 too - so it would be nice if you tell me how to configure the emulated graphic card to W3.1 recognize it too...

Hope you can understand me with my horrible English...

I created .img file of 1gb using bximage.exe succesfully,

in qemu manager- created new virtual machine,

into cdrom I put dsl.iso, and into hard disk0 I putted c.img which I created with bximages.exe.

click green run button and DSL insttaled/running fine, but when I check back c.img file to copy into my android, crap... it is unused/untouch by qemu maneger as befor it was. what is the problem with qemu manage that it is not installing the os into c.img file ???

why c.img file is untouched yarrr even when I selected the c.img as hd0 why it's not writting OS into the virtual hard disk image file.

Jellybean SGN2

Works fine and pretty fast on Galaxy Note 2 (T-Mobile EU 3G version) on Jellybean. Boot up takes 2-3 minutes, START shows after 2 seconds after clicking on it. Simple programs like Solitare, Calc or WordPad works nice and pretty fast. Even 3DPinball works smoothly. Only problem is lack of keyboard for play it. Virtual keyboard is not working with game.

I used bochsrc.txt config from first post in this topic.

Only strange issue is clock runnig 4x fast than real time.

After all, works much better than Windows 95/98 on old Nokia N95 8GB.

Has anyone tried limbo for android? Its based on qemu and you can install it from android markef for free.

I downloaded it 5 days ago and i have easily installed in it windows 95 ,windows millenium and knopix linux.

Its realy easy. The only bad thing is that all oses go slow like you say they go on bosch.

I would realy be interested in someone of you to give it a try and install win xp like you did in bosch and tell me if limbo or bosch is faster.

Limbo also has one great option. You can save the state of your virtual machine at anytime. So youncan then resume it without having to boot the os from the begining. Its really easy and fast.

Thanks.

PS. Neither qemu nor bosch nor limbo support multicores. So our new android phones with quad core cpus are not helping with tbe speed issues. Its really a shane to have 4 cores sitting idle and only one working at full trying to make windows xp in bosch start up..

Just imagine if someone enables multicores on one of these programs then the speed of windows will get 300% faster! Then winxp will be really usuable in android...

still boots and runs, but how would i configure the com3 to connect to my localhost or 192.168.0.1 as internet wich is what my internet access is on the phone, I have installed and run a chrooted linux and it gets internet threw 192.168.1.1 and localhost works fine any help?

old

I have installed windows xp got it to boot, but now it says lsass.exe input out put error cannot read or write from registry img of disk img. anyone know why this happend, or how to fix it.

When I boot from qemu on my computer the image works just fine no errors, but then on my andorid it says lsass.exe error. If you know how to fix this that would be greate

EDIT:

I figured it out, you need to have full read/write you must have full 777 access on the c.img and other bochs files in folder sdl, this means you must either have ntfs/ext2/3/4 file system I do not know about exFAT, but fat32 will not allow you to boot correctly because you cannot have full read write access. so if you have or run into errors reformat your sdcard and use the apk from the market to read/write to ntfs, or mount sdcard manually using ext2/3/4.

(sorry for my English)

It's worked for me but it's so slow! The boot process takes about 30 minutes on my Sky A860 (ARM v7 quad core @ 1.5GHz, 2 GB RAM)!

with megs: 1024

In bochsrc.txt file: when ips = 60000000 (like bochsrc.txt in page 1), boot the xp in android and check system information, XP show Pentium MMX cpu with 60Mhz.

I tried to edit bochsrc.txt:

cpu: count = 2, ips = 1200000000

(ips = 1.200.000.000)

and boot up, XP show Pentium MMX processor, 705Mhz but it looks like nothing different! It's still very slow!

i installed original Win XP SP3

i created 2 virtual machines, one in Bochs for Windows, and one in QEMU for Windows. Bochs one seems to be very slower than!

If you're using Windows 8, the c.img may be in C:\Users\(your user name)\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Bochs

Hi,

One different is my size of the c.img - i did not 1.500MB size, i create a 2.500MB harddisk size. Is that the error?

It runs perfectly unter PC -- Qemu

Do i need to resize or create a new image with 1.500MB? If so, how ro resize? Which program?

But it will only show iso files nothing else Isthat normal or is it possible to see other files like a exe file if it is than what am I doing wrong? Also I tried all other forms of the txt, I figured it out by visiting the bochs google code page for boshrc.txt it explains everything. And I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to mount a usb drive as a bootable disc . There is a text for booting a usb as a disc but it hasn't worked for me. I used the drive droid apk diskdrive.img as the usbdisk.img has anyone figured this out thanks

I have the same problem. Wont somebody please help? None of these posts gets an answer.

check if your hdd image is named c.img and in the right place
[Android General] Faarx:
Hi. Thx for the reply.

It is named c and in the SDL folder. The bochsrc boot is also set to c.

I've tried various versions of xp as well.

I get the bootscreen for about 1,5 secs but then bochs just closes, or rather, minimize. It doesn't exactly crash but the window just closes down and is in my tray. I can open up again but the same thing happens. This happens when it reaches the "press 12" option in the boot screen.

I should probably note that it does register the size of the image file in the boot screen before closing.

Hope this info could help someone solve my problem
