I am using wine actually only to play WoW on Gentoo Linux. On my desktop PC that works, but on my laptop the program crashes. This appears to be a fault in wine, because I cannot even use winecfg - it segfaults immediately:
Code:
$ winecfg
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/helge/.wine'
err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out
Segmentation fault
I tried this with every wine version from 1.1.14 to 1.1.17, compiled with gcc 4.1.2, 4.2.4 and 4.3.3, and with and without deleting the .wine directory first.
Here's some debugging info that may or may not be of interest:
Code:

(The system on my desktop, which works, differs in the kernel (2.6.28-gentoo-r2) and the processor (AMD Athlon X2).)

Register dump: [...]
BTW, the line
Code:
err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out
which appears in the output of both winecfg and wine, suuggests that the pproblem lies in wineserver, but that is misleading. The line vanishes when I start wineserver manually, but the crashes remain.
The last lines of the output of wineserver -d -f after running winecfg:
Code:

000d: terminate_process() = 0 { self=1 }

Another clue is that there might be something wrong with the ALSA drivers, but I have no idea how to tell wine/winecfg not to use sound...
