Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/oerg866/win98-quickinstall/issues/16
I trying to install from CD and get this error (Also I try floddpy and dosflopply to boot)
Read error - assertion failed: false (mappedfile_mt.c: mappedFile_readAhead1Block: 1-05)
I have a compaq CDS 5226
CF 1GB
I try fast, slow, detect, install devices etc, nothing, every time same error.
@cyberrep commented on GitHub (Nov 1, 2024):
I did a lot of tests
My setup its
Primary IDE a CF adapter with 1gb
2 IDE (Master CF adapter / Slave CD ROM)
If I try to install at the primary ide cf adapter I get this error.
If I install for the 2 ide I can copy files, but get a disk io error.
I try to set fat no lba, but still the same.
No ideia how to solve it.
@oerg866 commented on GitHub (Nov 2, 2024):
Can you tell me the rest of the system? motherboard, etc.
@oerg866 commented on GitHub (Nov 2, 2024):
Also, please use 0.9.5 and test again, because 0.9.4 is quite buggy and now obsolete
@cyberrep commented on GitHub (Nov 2, 2024):
I'll do, just waiting the cds to arrive.
@cyberrep commented on GitHub (Nov 2, 2024):
It's a compaq presario cds 5226
I can send pics of the cf adapters
@cyberrep commented on GitHub (Nov 7, 2024):
hey buddy, I burn the cd stock and lite and get the same error
@cyberrep commented on GitHub (Nov 7, 2024):
both version just install if the cf is plugged at the same cdrom cable, but I dont get boot.
I'll try to do more tests
@oerg866 commented on GitHub (Nov 7, 2024):
Hmmm this is very strange.
Can you do "exit to shell" instead of installation and type
lspci -nnso I can try to find similar hardware to reproduce the issue with :)
@cyberrep commented on GitHub (Nov 7, 2024):
boot screen
@cyberrep commented on GitHub (Nov 7, 2024):

@cyberrep commented on GitHub (Nov 7, 2024):
that's all info I have
@oerg866 commented on GitHub (Nov 7, 2024):
Hello, I sadly have no hardware here with the OPTi viper chipset so I sadly cannot reproduce the issue at this time...
I suspect the problem is with the IDE controller driver in the Linux Kernel...
If you replace the CF with a real HDD does it improve the situation?
@cyberrep commented on GitHub (Nov 7, 2024):
NP man, I did a trick, install that in the secondary ide, restore my windows at the CF, del all folder, copy the instalation from the other CF and voila!
I'll do this test

Hello, I have the same error with most recent version (win98qi_v0.9.6_micro_directx81.iso) burned to CD.
https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/acer-v66lt + PII 400 + 128 MB RAM
I changed from original hardware configuration only the following:
Hope that helps.
@oerg866 commented on GitHub (Jan 25, 2026):
Closing this now because the new version will have massively reworked error handling and DMA disable options that may fix the issue for good.
Feel free to re-open after 0.9.7 release (should be in a few weeks tops)
