Hi Robert, hi list, I have a patch ready that makes the patches for win4lin compile and run under kernel-2.4.18-6mdk. I am not a kernel-hacker, therefore I don't know wether everything's done right, but, at least for me, it works.
Apply the patch after applying the patches from netraverse. Regards, Uwe P.S.: I did send the patch before, but as I did not see the mail show up on the list, I resend it.
