Greetings All,
For some time now, there has been an incompatibility with Wine, AMD processors and FAT32 partitions. Random applications will mysteriously crash if run from a FAT32 drive, but work flawlessly if run on an EXT2 formatted partition. I had expected this problem to be fixed by now, as it seems to have been around for several years.
However version 1.1.9 is now showing this symptom on several of my AMD machines that had previously NOT seen the problem in the past. It would seem that the issue is getting worse, not improving. Note that my sole Intel machine (a laptop) does NOT seem to experience this failure.
I run a number of dual-boot machines (Windows/Linux). Since Windows does not play well with ext2, I tend to put Windows programs on FAT32 drives. However, to get Wine to run these same programs, It appears that they must also be copied over to an EXT2 (or EXT3) drive. It's a bit of a pain to maintain two separate copies of the same program.
I have not verified if this problem exists on NTFS formatted disks, as I do not have any systems with NTFS formatted drives.
I am currently running SUSE 11.1 (32 bit version). The problem also existed in SUSE 10.3 & 11.0, but on a smaller number of machines.
Example failure running program from FAT32.
The program here is a game, Bejeweled:
>wine WinBej.exe
err:menubuilder:WinMain unknown option -a

This game will run fine if the entire directory is copied to an EXT drive and run from there.
Please tell me if there is something that I can do to solve this issue.
Thanx.
