Wine + Fedora

[Louis Lenders]

Hi, just thought dropping a note here so you'd know: the troubles reported for
wine+fedora 9, now also affect fedora 8. Last saturday i did a 'yum update', and
after that about all wine-applications froze my computer. Only a hard reboot
helped...

Solved it by reverting back to kernel 2.6.24.7-92.fc8

Just in case a new wine-1.0 release comes out, and fedora-users start whining
"wine 1.0 is really crap, it freezes my computer" , hope this will be fixed soon.

Opened by Artemon 2008-04-22 03:03 EST
Priority low 
Severity urgent

Something tells me that if that bug persists since then and has been
reported for the rawhide kernel, and after that survived 2 releases to
*production* systems fc9 and now fc8 they don't care about it at all.

I haven't found a single mention of this bug on utrace-devel either.

According to the above link the bug should be fixed in 2.6.25.6-54,
can somebody conform that?

I've encountered the same bug. The fix was to take out their 'utrace'
patch and recompile the kernel as the bug suggested. The crash is gone
after that.

Cheers,
