Description of problem: When attempting to load any wine program numerous errors of the following occur: preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 Some programs will not start (winecfg does) and every couple times the machine will entirely lock up. At this time this box is current with rawhide. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): wine-0.9.58-1.fc9.i386 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run wine <program>.exe 2. Watch log or watch system hang Actual results: System freeze or program doesn't load whereas it previously did Expected results: Working program Additional info: This .exe worked just fine under wine on F8 :)
Same here. It is probably due to change in kernel (I'm running 2.6.25-1.fc9.x86_64). The workaround found in Ubuntu bugzilla[1] helped me. It is also noted on the Wine Wiki[2]. The workaround is simply: echo 'vm.mmap_min_addr = 0' >> /etc/sysctl.conf; sysctl -p Unfortunately, it slightly reduces security - the original value (65536) is said to prevent some future bugs, but on the other hand, it makes wine unusable. It is not fixed upstream and it's possible, that it won't be. [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/114025 [2] http://wiki.winehq.org/PreloaderPageZeroProblem
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Created attachment 305821 [details] Capture of kernel crash Here is a crash dump I captured over the serial console on my box. It is 100% reproducible here. Box is a rather clean F9 install with Wine installed.
The strange thing is that my notebook, with the same software installed, had no problem with it. But on my desktop (where the dump comes from), even setting vm.mmap_min_addr = 0 does not help. Can the severity of this issue been risen? It is a reproducible system lock-up when doing non-privileged user stuff like starting Wine's notepad clone.

This is clearly a *severe* kernel bug because any user can crash the whole system instantenously. Was it reported upstream to LKML?
(In reply to comment #9) > This is clearly a *severe* kernel bug because any user can crash the whole > system instantenously. Was it reported upstream to LKML? There is a corresponding Bug for the kernel in RH bugzilla: #443552 .

The associated kernel bug #443552 is FIXED now and the problem doesn't happen anymore. Most likely this bug can be set to FIXED as well.
