Thanks to Thorsten Glaser our manifold ISOs use isolinux by default nowadays so 
this bug should not longer be present with all (daily) ISOs that have been 
built using grml-live >=0.12.0. Closing this bug therefore.

thanks && regards,

Fix pending in git, thanks to Thorsten Glaser for spotting the origin of the bug.

I'm running into the "unaligned pointer" issue on real hardware too (with default 
Grml boot in manifold ISO). :-/

Should be fixed by Christian's commit 8b545504b1378577275e2fd84bfd9015e13eb8ac 
in grml-live.git, see http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue938

The Grml daily's by tomorrow (2010-12-01) should include that fix already. 
Please report back whether the issue is fixed for you as well.

I tried to start FreeDOS from the grml-small sid daily snapshot
(101128) on my Debian Sid running EeePC and directly after selecting
FreeDOS (i.e. before the FreeDOS menu) it crashed with the following
error message:

  unaligned pointer 0xc93a875f
  Aborted. Press any key to exit._

Pressing any key doesn't do anything though. I have to interrupt QEMU
with Ctrl-C on the commandline.

Maybe also a qemu bug... Not sure.

		Kind regards, Axel
