Re: Ctrl-Alt-ESC during boot

[Chuck Tuffli <chuck_tuffli@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

To set this up properly, this is running with HEAD as of yesterday (Jan 
26th) on an Asus P5GD1 motherboard (Pentium 4, based on the Intel 915G 
chipset). The kernel config is GENERIC plus support for gdb. Also, this 
is booting off of a live-cd. Note that the same CD boots an older Intel 
815 based machine just fine. The registers and memory values on the 
machine that boots fine are (almost) identical to what is shown below.

At the point of the hang, the system hasn't finished booting the OS. The 
hang occurs in

(kgdb) bt
#0  spl0 () at /usr/home/ctuffli/dfly-cvs/src/sys/i386/isa/ipl_funcs.c:177
#1  0xc03f2715 in configure (dummy=0x0)
    at /usr/home/ctuffli/dfly-cvs/src/sys/i386/i386/autoconf.c:176
#2  0xc024264c in mi_startup ()
    at /usr/home/ctuffli/dfly-cvs/src/sys/kern/init_main.c:207

on assignment of

	td->td_cpl = 0;

where td = gd->mi.gd_curthread

(kgdb) p *((struct mdglobaldata *)gd)
$4 = {mi = {gd_prvspace = 0xff800000, gd_curthread = 0xc04e0860,
    gd_tdfreecount = 0, gd_reqflags = 2, gd_freesysun = 0x0, gd_tdallq =
     {tqh_first = 0xff80034c, tqh_last = 0xc0530c88}, gd_tdfreeq =
     {tqh_first = 0x0, tqh_last = 0xff80001c}, gd_tdrunq = {
     {tqh_first = 0x0, tqh_last = 0xff800024},
     {tqh_first = 0x0, tqh_last = 0xff80002c}, {
. ..

the assignment of td seems to go ok

(kgdb) display/i $pc
1: x/i $eip  0xc0410632 <spl0+6>:       mov    0x4(%eax),%edx
(kgdb) p/x $eax
$1 = 0xff800000
(kgdb) si
179             td->td_cpl = 0;
1: x/i $eip  0xc0410635 <spl0+9>:       movl   $0x0,0xc8(%edx)
(kgdb) p/x $edx
$2 = 0xc04e0860
(kgdb) p td
$3 = (struct thread *) 0xc04e0860

but something bad is happening upon dereferencing td

(kgdb) p td->td_cpl
There is no member named td_cpl.
(kgdb) p/x td->td_mach.mtd_cpl
$4 = 0xffffffff
(kgdb) si

Asking gdb about 0xc04e0860 gives back <thread0+64> if that is any help.
