I can't imagine that SuSE does all that work to customize the kernel and then it will be the same to use the generic one.
Does anyone know more about that?
I've tried it and the win4lin kernel seems to be fine. I felt that the win4lin kernel was a little more sluggish on startup than the SuSE one, but I don't have any timings to confirm this. I believe there are one or two other issues if your're trying to run win4lin as (say) and NFS server.
Thanks, John, that is the information I need! So if I try I have to watch if the NFS server, which I use from time to time, does still work. Do you remember more of the "one or two other issues"?
It ought to be possible to get a hybrid suse-win4lin kernel, but you can't just patch because the SuSE and win4lin patches clash. I haven't the energy to try creating a kernel, mainly because the number of applications I now use that actually need win4lin is so small that I normally use the SuSE kernel.
I would love to do that, but no way I can find the time for that.
