           Summary: Wine fails to run my Kernel Mode Driver in Kernel Mode
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.29
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://rh-software.com
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: ray at pobox.co.uk


When I run my Kernel mode driver under Wine it gets run in User Mode, rather
then kernel mode.  This causes the RDMSR instructions if uses to fail.  I have
tried to get roung this by using type 202 msr devices, but there is no easy way
to call mknod to create them.  I raised
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20081 asking for a wine_mknod() to be
added, but this has been dismissed on the grounds that mknod() is not a windows
function and therefore should not be in Wine.  Applications running a Kernel
Mode driver is a standard windows function used by many windows application so
should work with Wine.
