--------V-1012--BL34-------------------------
INT 10 - VIDEO - ALTERNATE FUNCTION SELECT (VGA) - CURSOR EMULATION
AH = 12h
BL = 34h
AL = new state
00h enable alphanumeric cursor emulation
01h disable alphanumeric cursor emulation
Return: AL = 12h if function supported
Desc: specify whether the BIOS should automatically remap cursor start/end
according to the current character height in text modes
SeeAlso: AH=01h,AH=03h
Looks like the VGA emulation isn't up to it yet. Try an older version
of DOS, or perhaps try booting from something other than the DOS
install disk.
You could also hack the code where the panic is generated to return
something other than 0x12 in AL to work around this.
