FC2 (Fedora Core 2) and Win4Lin
 

Does anyone have Win4lin working with the new FC2 (Fedora Core 2) Kernel?

I tried compiling it following win4lin's insructions but I get the following:

Does anyone know how to fix or get around this?

I presume you are using a 2.6 kernel with FC2. Are you using win4lin version 5? I have read that version 4 does not work with the 2.6 kernel.

Latest Kernel (2.6.5-1.358) and latest Win4Lin 5.0

I'm still on 2.4 kernel, and win4lin 4. I am waiting to go to the 2.6 kernel until I can afford the win4lin upgrade to 5. I was just considering that you might be trying to use win4lin 4 with a 2.6 kernel. But at least we know that is not your problem :-)!

I don't even get as far as which win4lin I'm using. The problem is with the netraverse enabled kernel. They have a few pre-packaged 2.4 and 2.6.4 kernels. It rather use the kernel that is packaged with FC2 2.6.5

I tried compiling it manually this is where I'm getting the problems. I get errors in wakeup.S

Same problem here with the wakeup.s error after changing the four HUNK FAILED patches exit.c, sched.c, thread_info.h and sched.h.

I thought my 4 manual patches are wrong but I checked them three times.

I have tried the FC 2.6.6-391 kernel and the default 2.6.5-1.358 kernel. Both kernels give compile errors.

The default 2.6.6 kernel from www.kernel.org is the only kernel without patch errors and compiles fine. But the Win4Lin installation crashed :(

the same problem
 

I've got the same problem trying to apply patches manually using generic kernel form kernel.org. The problem was with wakeup.s. I also tried different compilers like gcc3.0.4 (taken from recommended by netraverse package netraverse-gcc) and gcc-3.3.3 and new one gcc3.4. Nothing can help.

If somebody is more or less succesful, please let me know!!!

Solution?
 

Actually, I think I solved this problem.
I turned off in ACPI Sleep states (EXPERIMENTAL), ASUS/Medion Laptop Extras and Toshiba Laptop Extras. After that my compilation goes wlle without any significant errors. But I haven't tried new kernel yet.
