[cw-discuss] lockup in FC6 AMD64

[Andrew Douglas Pitonyak]

Question 1:

When I did a reply all, it copied you Jeremy... Should I be intentional 
about NOT doing that? Very strange indeed. This time, I will let it go...

Yep... 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6

Oh no, it must be a CrossOver bug :-)

I am more inclined to believe that something strange is happening with 
the nVidia video driver that takes the keyboard with it (although I see 
no issues in xorg logs). I suspect that if I wandered upstairs, turned 
on my wife's Windows box, it might let me in by ssh and then allow me to 
issue an init to kill the GUI (but I am only guessing).

I have had so much trouble with selinux that I pretty much just turn it 
off as soon as I install a new version of the O/S. I am waiting with 
baited breath for FC7 and considering jumping to Ubuntu (at least as a 
test).

I managed to install the latest crossover office by removing my existing 
directories. During the initial install, I then asked it to install IE 6 
(which caused a lockup). After a reboot, I told it to install windows 
software and it never asked me if it was supported software or not 
supported software when it died. I did see the following in my logs this 
time

Any ideas?
