I am using the most current Win4Lin-supplied kernel installed on the default Mandrake 8.1 kernel (The Win4Lin kernel package supplies a kernel and a kernel module for the stock Mandrake kernel. I didn't have much success using the updated Mandrake 8.1 kernel). I also run VMware 3.0.0-1455. Both work well but for one exception: Neither app can access my CD-ROM drive and since I really don't need to access that drive from Win4Lin or VMware, I haven't figured out the problem (I use devfs=nomount in LILO and scsi emulation on the CD-ROM drive) and fixed it. It's most likely symbolic link or permission problems. Win4Lin (NeTraverse) and Mandrake have some kind of "partnership" now, so I assume that future stock Mandrake kernels will support Win4Lin out-of-the-box (or at least I hope so).
