Loki games

[Pasha R]

Hi,

Does anyone have any information about problems with games ported by
Loki and newest kernels? Any idea how these crashes may be resolved? I
tried the workarounds mentioned in new kernel announcement, but it
didn't help.

Thanks.

The best solution is to boot to the 2.6.7 kernels.  I tried a few given
in this newsletter and thats the best one.

Do you know any other solution? Any idea what kernel change caused the
problem? Also, should we report this to bugzilla?

Having read the earlier Loki thread and about to deploy a FC2 server, I 
checked the Tribes 2 dedicated server and it runs on 2.6.8 SMP. I haven't 
tried to connect to it with clients but it loads its auxiliary files and an 
admin mod and enters its main loop.
