Has anyone gotten win4lin working with 2.6.12-nitro2? I'm having the
"VM_DIED:dos:ERROR:The VM86 process died"
problem that was reported earilier. Love the responsiveness of these sources,
but it is a pain to reboot to 2.6.9-win4lin-r6 when I've got to use a windoze program.

Yes. I'll try unmounting that before shutting down next time...
(edit)
Bingo! "umount /mnt/windows" provokes the hang. I've worked around it by commenting it out of my fstab, and removing the ntfs module just to be sure. Now to emerge gnome-panel, my applets seem to have been lost to filesystem corruption. |

chances are to get around this in nitro3
[EDIT:] sorry, no qemu in kernel for now...
it has a too complex build system to simply push it in like that.. I will try to exploit it sometime later
(yes, there is sourcecode available for version 0.7.0 )
July 6th, 2005: With an overwhelming majority of 648 of 680 votes, the European Parliament rejected the entire software patent directive: sending a strong message against software patents in Europe and a sign of protest against corruption of democratic processes. Now it will be important to establish democratic control of the European Patent Office (EPO) -- more information also available in the FSFE press release.

I´m running 2.6.12-nitro2 on amd64 with 2 ntfs partitions mounted but havent had any problems or lockups, actually this release has been really stable.
I´m quite impressed.
This is my setup:
Athlon 64 2800+
MSI k8m800-v
1 GB ddr Kingston
2 x 120 gb seagate sata (raid0)
Nvidia Cinema 5200 _________________ Lucky Livecd 32 and 64 bit versions (reiser4 suppport)

Sorry i cant be much of help, but i cant see any kernel-side error in your debug output.... :S

media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r4 with 2.6.11-nitro2 = gazz
media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r4 with 2.6.12-nitro2 = no gazz
I think there is an issue with the agp or nvidia-agp kernel code (I'm running nforce2), but I'm no expert. |

Of course I can, but I think you'll get really busy if you tinker with your notebook, talk to your friends, drink your beer and whiskey, look around what happens a.s.o. Besides you shouldn't drink and root! =)
I'll wait Tiger released nitro3 and than make a decision. _________________ I am /root and if you see me laughing you better have a backup. |

[edit]
Tiger, you might want to apply this patch for the next nitro, unless it's already in mainstream:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97843#c7 (comment #7)
It has the potential to slow the entire system to about 1/10th speed or so if not patched, depending on hardware. I myself noticed a slight slowdown (seemed like 1.8ghz instead of 3.2ghz HT) before I manually patched it in nitro. YMMV. |
HAHA!!
Saw it just in time before uploading the nitro3 patch LOL
hmm... will take a few more minutes then _________________ Retired gentoo user |

Amen.
Many thanks to the French (and the Dutch) for throwing out the phoney EU Constitution. Looks like some of out _elected_ representatives felt the cold wind of democracy blowing down thier necks.

hmm, thx.
though, the fix is not needed for nitro-sources anymore beginning with nitro3.
Marked this release deprecated with hope to prevent people trying to use the patched ebuild with newer nitros, where it actually will break stuff.
cheers
