I installed the gs-sources and i need the win4lin support however whenever i go to turn on the windows support i get the below message. Then when i go to Processor type and features there is no such option. I have tried to configure this new kernel useing no previous .config file with no sucess.
| Code: |
--- Note: Win4Lin support requires a standard user address space of 3GB. │ │
│ │ --- Under the "Processor type and features" section, please select a │ │
│ │ --- "User address space size" of 3GB. Then come back here and you will │ │
│ │ --- be able to enable Win4Lin support. |

The gs-sources-2.4.21_rc2 patch file is missing the 3.5G-address-space-5 patch and consequently, the installed gs-source is missing it.
I resolved this by downloading the patch from here:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/kernels/v2.4/2.4.21rc2aa1/
Changed my linux link in /usr/src to the gs source directory
Copied the downloaded address patch file to /usr/src/linux
Patched the source by using this command:
patch -p1 < 00_3.5G-address-space-5 > patch.log 2>&1
Review the patch.log for errors.
Run make menuconfig
I did notice that I needed to save the .config file with the 3GB option set before the win4lin option became available.
YMMV, but hopefully, it'll work for you as it did for me.
I've already logged the missing patch issue into bugzilla. |
