Bochs and Virtual 8086
Posted: Wed Feb 11, 2004 12:00 am
hi friends,
till now bochs was good enough to test my OS (Dynacube Operating System) but when I started coding Virtual Monitor for the v8086 mode bochs did a triple fault instead of handing out a GPF to my ISR. Im sure there is nothing wrong with my code as VMWare correctly handles the v8086 and passes a GPF to my GPF handler. When I tried my code with my machine - the result was the same.
Is there some bug in bochs ?
Also I have tried to get an academic license for simics - problem is that their email doesn't land into my inbox(so in a manner of speaking I am blocked).
Does VMWare have a debugger with it ?
Help me find a better simulator.
Thanking you,
Gandalf
