I don't user loader(8), and finally got around to fixing this. The problem is that the kernel linker wants module data for the kernel. It defaults to using incomplete data if none is present. The following supplies slightly less incomplete data: diff -c2 machdep.c~ machdep.c *** machdep.c~ Tue Feb 29 19:18:29 2000 --- machdep.c Mon Mar 6 10:05:52 2000 *************** *** 1809,1812 **** --- 1799,1816 ---- preload_metadata = (caddr_t)bootinfo.bi_modulep + KERNBASE; preload_bootstrap_relocate(KERNBASE); + } else { + static u_int32_t oldmoduledata[] = { + 1, sizeof("kernel"), 0, 0, + 2, sizeof("elf kernel"), 0, 0, 0, + 0x8004, 4, 0, + 0x8003, 4, 0, + 0, 0, + }; + + preload_metadata = (caddr_t)&oldmoduledata[0]; + strcpy((char *)&oldmoduledata[2], "kernel"); + strcpy((char *)&oldmoduledata[6], "elf kernel"); + oldmoduledata[11] = roundup2(bootinfo.bi_esymtab, 4); + oldmoduledata[14] = bootinfo.bi_symtab; } if (bootinfo.bi_envp) Bruce --tThc/1wpZn/ma/RB Content-Type: message/rfc822 Received: from gidora.zeta.org.au (gidora.zeta.org.au [203.26.10.25]) by relay.ucb.crimea.ua (8.9.3/8.9.3/UCB) with SMTP id QAA33103 for ; Wed, 22 Mar 2000 16:34:11 +0200 (EET) (envelope-from bde@zeta.org.au) Received: (qmail 25547 invoked from network); 22 Mar 2000 14:33:30 -0000 Received: from bde.zeta.org.au (203.2.228.102) by gidora.zeta.org.au with SMTP; 22 Mar 2000 14:33:30 -0000 Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2000 01:33:15 +1100 (EST) From: Bruce Evans X-Sender: bde@alphplex.bde.org To: Ruslan Ermilov Subject: Re: [4.0-ERRATA candidate?] loader(8)/kvm(3) interoperability issue In-Reply-To: <20000321213700.A64137@relay.ucb.crimea.ua> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII > Hmm, the kernel with this patch panics with fatal trap 12 earlier, > right after it reports the amount of available memory, if I boot > without loader(8), but works perfectly, if I do use loader(8).
