Summary: REGRESSION: Wine crashes on non-IDE systems Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: Other URL: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine- cvs/2005/08/0182.html OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: wine-kernel AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: willie@froq.net
The recently applied patch (see URL) to create DEVICEMAP registry keys based on the /proc filesystem breaks Wine on systems without IDE support, as it simply assumes /proc/ide to be present - which is not the case on pure SCSI systems.
According to strace, Wine segfaults as soon as it tries to access /proc/ide, and removing the IDE enumeration from Vitaliy Margolen's patch fixes the crash (not a real fix, of course, but the best a non-coder could do... ;-) ).
