  Why?   Netraverse is very good about making a win4lin enabled kernel 
available 
  for every officially released Mandrake kernel, and they usually make it 
  available within days of the release.
 
 Well, then we could have better integration (the win4lin-supplied kernel 
 RPMS only allow one win4lin kernel, whereas my packages on Club 
 allow up,smp,enterprise and multiple versions to co-exist), and why should 
 people who buy Powerpack/ProSuite have to download win4lin kernels, would 
 it not be more convenient to have them on the CDs?
 
 Also, it seems at least a few people here run win4lin on cooker, it might 
 save us all some time to have one package, than to all be building our own 
 kernels (and doing the patching, which often takes longer).
 
 Oh, my win4lin-utils package also provides menu entries for Win4lin (in 
 menu format, so they work when you use Mandake's menus).
 
You make some valid points.  What would be the harm in just adding the win4lin 
support to the official kernel?  Does it hurt anything if win4lin is nevr 
installed?  That solves all the problems.

Sorry I took so long to respond. I was about to post glibc 2.3.2-5mdk on

Things are still working with 2.3.2-14mdk.

[Cooker] Anyone having troubles with win4lin 4 on cooker?

2003-08-14 Thread Buchan Milne
I have been running win4lin on cooker for quite a while, usually using the 
kernel from a stable release, and haven't had problems. I don't run it 
that often on my cooker box, but had just compiled a win4lin-kernel based 
on 2.4.21-6mdk, and wanted to test it. Now, under both the 2.4.21-0.18mdk 
and the new 2.4.21-6mdk kernel it segfaults at start.

I didn't want to upgrade to win4lin 5, since I don't need any of their new 
features ...

Anyone else running win4lin on a cooker box?

Regards,
Buchan

Never mind, I figured *something* out. :)

glibc-2.3.2-5mdk works. glibc-2.3.2-10mdk breaks.

If anyone wants me to test with glibc 2.3.2-[678]mdk, please provide me
with a copy somehow.

(Heh. Between this and Red Hat's glibc-2.3.2-67 breaking Mozilla in a

As I said in my previous message (and which I'll repeat in case it

 (guessing) GCC differences between kernel and win4lin binaries?

No, since it segaults on kernels it worked on before. I tested on
2.4.21.0.18mdk on cooker, which is what my 9.1 desktop at home runs
(where win4lin works).
