I have the line options USER_LDT in my kernel config file (wine was running before the change) but I still get the error i386_set_ldt: Invalid argument Did you reconfigure the kernel with "options USER_LDT"? The FreeBSD newsgroup has some discussion on the fact that the kernel will not recognize the P166+ as a 586 class CPU (I knew this from experince ...) I am wondering if the "slight" differences between CPUs from different sources might be at the root of the problem. I am running FreeBSD-2.2-ALPHA and wine-97.01.01. Has anybody had a similar experience or any suggestions on how to correct the problem ? Thanks
