I had been using Continuum on the same machine with openSUSE 11.1 just fine. After installing 11.2, the steps needed to get Continuum running no longer worked. Before, the local Continuum community provided a kernel32.dll.so replacement to use, but that no longer was compatible with the version openSUSE offered in their repository. So I grabbed 1.1.38 source and built it with the trick described on http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3703 -- and it seems to do what it's supposed to (without the patch, Continuum will never get to the zone list screen or even the first-time setup screen, and it will generally be unpleasant.) I am experiencing a new issue it seems: Continuum will reach the zone list screen, but within a second it crashes every time. Obviously this is not the expected behavior. The program is useless in this state. Wine version: wine-1.1.38 (with modified dlls/kernel32/process.c - see the appdb link above) Code: fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f168,0x00000000), stub! wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address 0xbe8432 (thread 001b), starting debugger...

on openSUSE 11.1, 1.1.9) and using pre-built binaries from various openSUSE repositories (those that would accept the patched kernel32.dll.so), and all of them exhibited similar behavior. All of them also do the usual behavior when unpatched (never reaching the zone list screen.) This makes me believe that there is a configuration problem or a problem in Continuum itself, but given how smoothly things ran before that seems a bit strange. I have no clue how to proceed from here (or even about what is at fault), any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Continuum 0.40: http://www.ssforum.net/index.php?app=downloads&module=display§ion=download&do=confirm_download&id=4 (linked from http://subspaceonline.com/ ) Thanks for taking the time to read this.
