Hi I am having a problem getting an initial login prompt on my UML and it's related to CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER (my host system is a x86_64 machine running 2.6.16).
With a 2.6.16 codebase (and it has the x86_64 patch referenced in http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0510.1/0185.html), I observe: 1. With CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER enabled in .config, bootup stops after "VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly" and stderr shows the message unable to open console. 2. With CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER disabled, it works! (I get a login prompt and get a bash shell). I am using a gentoo x86_64 stage 3 tarball as the base for my root_fs. Just curious why this is and if I am supposed to have frame pointers omitted. Some other observations (if they help): 1. I went to a 2.6.13 codebase for my UML, and it all works regardless of the FRAME_POINTER config. 2. I removed the patch above, and as expected the UML crashes when CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is disabled. It boots up fine with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER enabled. Please let me know if I can provide any other information. thanks. shalb ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
