> Bochs does a very good job in emulating an x86 compatible computer, however,
|
||
|
|
it does not (yet) include a full (100%) emulation of every possible instruction,
|
||
|
|
(BIOS) function call or (hardware) device. Thus, in case something unusual
|
||
|
|
happens, either a not-so-common call to some (BIOS) function or device by
|
||
|
|
some software running inside of it, Bochs has two possibilities to react:
|
||
|
|
If the command doesn't look important (mainly happens only to non-implemented
|
||
|
|
functions in the BIOS), a notice is logged to the <A
|
||
|
|
HREF="bochsrc.html#BOCHSOPT-LOG"
|
||
|
|
>log file</A
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
and the emulation continues. If, however, the command looks important, Bochs
|
||
|
|
panics, because the software being emulated might depend on the successful
|
||
|
|
execution of the given instruction or behaviour of the device.
|
||
|
|
</P
|
||
|
|
><P
|
||
|
|
> A panic does not always mean that the software won't run inside of Bochs,
|
||
|
|
as the software might just be probing the computer for the presence of some
|
||
|
|
instruction/device, and in case it is not found, it simply won't be used at
|
||
|
|
all, by the software.

>. If
|
||
|
|
you change the action to "ask", Bochs reports what has happened and asks
|
||
|
|
you what to do. The appearance of the "ask" feature depends on the display
|
||
|
|
library used and the platform. Some display libraries don't support it at all.
