Guest xsenon Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Hi there.. :D I installed a few days ago mandrake 10.1 on my IBM t20 and i love it. But i have a problem, i cannot install my win4lin. I downloaded the newest win4lin (Win4Lin-5.5.8e-d.i386.rpm) and the win4lin enabled kernel (kernel-win4lin-2.6.8.1.10mdk-3-10mdk.i586.rpm) but whenever i try to install win95 win4lin claims missing drivers.. I have no idea what to do. Am I the only one who has this Problem ? xsenon --------------------------------------------------------------------------- root@localhost adminbin]# loadwindowsCD fromdir /mnt/win_d/win95c/ Checking the system.

Guest xsenon Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hi !! ;) I am still in trouble. Win4Lin still refuses to work on mandrake 10.1 i and don't know what to do. If i type in the following, i allways get an error message : [root@localhost ibmt20]# grep mki_install_hook /proc/ksyms grep: /proc/ksyms: No such file or directory Damn.. I installed the win4lin enabled kernels, but it seems like something is wrong. Does anybody has an idea what i have to do ? xsenon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashdamage Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Netraverse always does extensive testing on Mandrake, and Win4Lin WILL run fine on 10.1. Sounds like you installed maually and something went badly. From your post I'm not sure exactly what, though it's clear DOS would not install due to no working mki-adapter. For whatever reason, it's not loading. You may simply not be booting into the Win4Lin-enabled kernel, but...nah, couldn't be that easy... To avoid problems from an install gone bad, I'd uninstall the kernel and Win4Lin rpm and start over rather than troubleshoot. If you don't want to use a generic Win4Lin-enabled kernel, first download and install Buchan Milne's 2.6.8.1-10mdk Win4Lin-enabled kernel from Contrib (sounds like you did that). He has run this kernel successfully with 10.1CE. Then just run the GUI installer and let it do the work. It should recognize the enabled kernel and go. Click-click easy and reliable. If you still feel the need to install manually, be sure to follow the instructions on Netraverse's website carefully. If you still have problems, try posting your question to the Netraverse mailing list at: win4lin-users@netraverse.com There is excellent help there not only from other users (including Buchan Milne, who does not check in here) but from the developers themselves. You should have an answer pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
