Summary: Wine fails to run my Kernel Mode Driver in Kernel Mode Product: Wine Version: 1.1.29 Platform: PC URL: http://rh-software.com OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ray@pobox.co.uk
When I run my Kernel mode driver under Wine it gets run in User Mode, rather then kernel mode. This causes the RDMSR instructions if uses to fail. I have tried to get roung this by using type 202 msr devices, but there is no easy way to call mknod to create them. I raised http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20081 asking for a wine_mknod() to be added, but this has been dismissed on the grounds that mknod() is not a windows function and therefore should not be in Wine. Applications running a Kernel Mode driver is a standard windows function used by many windows application so should work with Wine.
