I can't get past init if -n > 1. This is with today's HEAD. Here's the
panic:
start_init: trying /sbin/init
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
mp_lock = 00000003; cpuid = 3
fault virtual address = 0x0
fault code = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x1f:0x0
stack pointer = 0x10:0x5e89c8f0
frame pointer = 0x10:0x0
processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process = 2 (sh)
current thread = pri 6
<- SMP: XXX
kernel: type 12 trap, code=4
I either get this or a bus error. I can't get anything useful from
gdb either.
