There was a memory deadlock problem with some of our early kernels.
You can tell if you have the fix by doing the following:
grep mki_version_ /proc/ksyms
You should get something like:
c024f990 mki_version_2_0_1
where the first field (c024f990) may differ. The important thing is
to see if you get mki_version_2_0_1. If you get nothing as a result
of the grep, then you don't have a kernel with this fix. At the time
of the win4lin 2.0 release, the only kernels that had this fix were
redhat 6.2 Kernel 2.2.16
redhat 7.0 Kernel 2.2.16
So if you were running the default Redhat 6.2 default kernel (2.2.14),
then you got a win4lin kernel without the fix. Our kernel production
person is busy rolling the fix back into previous kernels. At this
point you can wait for that fix (should be within the month or so),
OR you can build your own kernel with a new patch, OR you can uninstall
the win4lin kernel RPM, apply the RedHat update for RH 6.2 that will
bring your system to the 2.2.16 kernel level, and then install the
win4lin RH 6.2 2.2.16 kernel.
