(hope this is not duplicated...i've had some email problems today and might have lost the original post in the translation ) Greetings, I'm playing around with wine, and get err:virtual:map_image Standard load address for a Win32 program (0x00400000) not available - security-patched kernel ? In a wine mailing list, someone suggested "cat "0" /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield to totally disable it, and alternatively, "setarch i586 wine <wine args> However, these seem to no longer work, and digging around, I found you can disable exec-shield via a boot time option. Just how does one go about adding options to the kernel/boot? If it matters, I'm using grub. TIA Brian
