RE : [coLinux-devel] SMP system freeze completely

[Florent C. <flo...@un...>]

I have applied the imagecfg patch on the executables, now colinux works
perfectly on my P4 3.0C HT.

Like Alejandro, I've patched all .exe (I did not try to apply the patch
on colinux-deamon only).

I'm doing that now at work, it seems to work most of the time, including
all night last night.

I've had a couple issues when starting and stopping it multiple times,
but I'd venture to say that's a different problem.

Note: I've not tested to see which specific binaries should be uniproc.
I think the colinux-daemon would be sufficient, but I just opted to
change them all.
