Hi,

I'm using the pure Hammer bootloader.

At first it worked, but now, after using the system for a while I cannot 
load modules at boot time anymore. So I always have to disable acpi, 
otherwise it will hang shortly after showing some progress trying to 
load the module (it just shows a few "/", "|", backslash, "-" 
characters, then it hangs).
can you ctrl-alt-del the machine at that point or is it locked?

The kernel itself boots just fine. I am using the GENERIC kernel.
I'm not sure how to debug this...  If your file system is small enough, 
you could put it up somewhere for me to have a look.  Alternatively you 
can build a standalone hammer reader from the boot source in 
lib/libstand/hammerread.c and try to debug why it can't load the modules. 
 I guess it has something to do with the btree layout.

cheers
