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
