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?
Yes that works.
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.
I have problems compiling hammerread:
cd lib/libstand
make -DTESTING -DDEBUG=3 hammerread
/usr/libexec/binutils217/elf/ld: errno: TLS definition in
/usr/lib/libc.so section .tbss mismatches non-TLS reference in
/tmp//ccVzucFt.o
/usr/lib/libc.so: could not read symbols: Bad value
What am I doing wrong?
use cc:
cc -DTESTING -DDEBUG=3 hammerread.c
Okay that works (using -std=c99). It can successfully read and list the
directory contents.
In the boot prompt I tried the following:
ls works
ls / works
ls -l immediatly reboots
ls /boot works
ls /boot/modules works, but after pressing a few times SPACE (i.e.
scroll page down), it hangs.
Regards,
Michael
