 Posted: Sun Jun 27, 2004 4:40 pm Post subject: win4lin patches - seg fault fix |
 |
|
As I need windows for some programmes that don't run under crossover, and I don't want the bloat of vmware, I use win4lin.
I also like to use the latest kernels.
Solution: patch win4lin for whatever kernel I am using.
As a result I have started to get a collection of win4lin patches that you may be interested in.
So far there are patches for:
2.6.7-mm3
2.6.7-mm2 (dodgy, not working)
2.6.7-mm1
2.6.7 (vanilla)
2.6.7-rc3-mm2
2.6.7-rc3-mm1
If you want them, please go to my website here. (Link also in my signature).
This is not another 'sources' release and I usually use the latest love-sources myself. In fact, I did the win4lin patches for the last few love-sources.
At this moment in time i am using 2.6.7-mm3 with reiser4 and the win4lin patch from my site.
Judging from the downloads from my previous site, win4lin patches are popular so I hope you enjoy them.
If you want a patch for a previous kernel and it's not on my site, let me know and I'll put one up. Remember that Gentoo's Win4Lin-sources may have a kernel for you already, these patches aren't meant to replace them if there is one there already.

Judging from the number of downloads and emails I've been getting, it seems a fairly popular patch.
So, just to let you know, I have just added a patch for:
2.6.7-mm4
[edit]Well, I do get seg faults on this mm4 patch, but I've received some reports of it working perfectly on mm4. So give it a go, who knows it may work prefectly on your system

woobi: good to hear
As I'm sure all self respecting win4lin users will know, Netraverse has released an updated patch set for the 2.6.7 kernel.
The code really hasn't changed a great deal but all new patches will be made using their new base.
Also, 2.6.7-mm6 was released this morning and a win4lin patch is available (see sig). Hope you enjoy it.
Many thanks for all the emails i have been getting, it is encouraging and, to those who asked, yes I will be putting new patches out for each kernel release (providing I can get them to work that its  ) |

Just thought I'd update everyone, the segfault problem with the win4lin patches that many people have been getting has been fixed in the latest versions on my site.
This issue affected a couple more kernels but has been fixed for:
2.6.8-rc1-mm1 - newest win4lin patch
2.6.7-mm7
2.6.7-mm6
2.6.7-mm5
Updated patches can be found at the usual place:
http://www.pickledonion.net
As can be seen by the above list, win4lin patches are also available for 2.6.8-rc1 and 2.6.7-rc1-mm1 (mm1 released this morning)
I hope that helps people who were gettnig the segfaults.
Thanks go to Sung-won for his help in this matter (also thanked in each patch's release notes). |

Hi
I'm trying to get win4lin to work for the first time (along with the mm-sources)
I'm not sure what I did wrong:
| Code: |
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge mm-sources
rm /usr/src/linux (currently pointing to /usr/src/linux/linux-2.6.7-gentoo-r9)
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.7-mm6 /usr/src/linux
cd /usr/src/linux/
patch -p1 <~/2.6.7-mm6-win4lin-segfault-fix.patch
cp ../linux-2.6.7-gentoo-r9/.config ./
make && make modules_install
|
It ends like this:
| Code: |
...
CC arch/i386/lib/memcpy.o
CC arch/i386/lib/strstr.o
CC arch/i386/lib/usercopy.o
AR arch/i386/lib/lib.a
GEN .version
CHK include/linux/compile.h
UPD include/linux/compile.h
CC init/version.o
LD init/built-in.o
LD .tmp_vmlinux1
arch/i386/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0xacf): In function `__switch_to':

mm/built-in.o(.text+0xe56c): In function `try_to_free_pages':
: undefined reference to `mhi_hooks'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Fout 1
|
"Fout" means "error" in my language  .
Here is what my .config looks like after all this.
Maybe I'm missing something, but besides netraverses documentation I didn't find much instructions on how to do this on Gentoo. |

Vroem,
thanks for the question, I followed your process to try and reproduce the error, but it compiles perfectly, using your config file and method.
Please see the code below, not to prove it, but to show you the rest of the compile from your error:

The warning you see at the bottom is because I haven't installed the ati-drivers properly yet and not to do with the win4lin patch.
I don't know what to suggest, the only thing I would say is that your patch command needs a space between the < and the ~, mine is shown here:
| Code: | | patch -p1 < /home/patches/win4lin/2.6.7-mm6/2.6.7-mm6-win4lin-segfault-fix.patch |
but then, it obviously worked for you as you had the netraverse option selected in your config file.
If anyone else has any ideas I would be grateful to hear them.
In the meantime Vroem, perhaps you could emerge -C mm-sources, and try again from scratch? |

Vroem,
I thought, as you are using a PII, you might be on older configuration files, so I tried the whole process with your config file, using gcc-3.3.4 (I usually use gcc-3.4.1) and it worked perfectly again.
Sorry I can't be more help, but I have no idea why it doesn't work on your machine. |
