Just tried embedded DSL 2.3 on three machines, and it crashes a few seconds after starting the boot process. Tried to run from HD and USB, same result. XpSp2, all updates. Anybody else see this? No such issue with 2.2, same environments.

I have run DSL 2.3 embedded on two XP machines, one home-built and the other an IBM ThinkPad with no problems. When you started it, did two DOS windows open and did either of them stay open after the crash?

DSL don't start on my Ubuntu Linux System. I have extract it at ~/dsl and chmod +x dsl-linux.sh ...
I get online the message that i have no "rights" to start qemu!?
Also i have copy it to an pendrive and start ... the same *piep*. ;(

I have also an ubuntu version of qemu on my pc ... if it possible that that is my problem?

Perhaps the qemu binary, located at ./qemu/qemu also needs to be allowed to run as an executable:

chmod 755 ./qemu/qemu

I have had both of these problems recently.

I had exactly the same experience with dsl embedded 2.3 on XP as labqa. When I ran the batch file two DOS windows opened, but then disappeared and a "send error report" dialogue box came up. I chose not to send the error report to MS, but have no idea what the problem might be.

I downloaded an older version (1.2) and it works fine, but I would love to be able to use the new version.

Beambot, there is an option for mounting drives in Linux so that files on them can be executed. Try to mount your usb drive using:

Code Sample

mount -t vfat -o <your other options>,exec <your device> <your mount point>

e.g.

Code Sample

mount -t vfat -o rw,exec /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
