oskit-mach SMP mode! Preliminary debugging stuff
Hi,
I built a "--enable-smp=2" kernel-ide and have determined that
it crashes very quickly ( no real suprise ). It seems to be rebooting
in main : ldt_init() but I am not sure. For some reason my sources
got screwed up and I can't trace the program into the OSKit source.
This last time ( which worked in non-smp mode ) I arranged my
sources like so:
/usr/src/gnu -- main build dir
/usr/src/gnu/hurd-20020103 -- Hurd source ( not
really used )
/usr/src/gnu/hurd-20020103/oskit-mach -- you get the idea
/usr/src/gnu/oskit-0.97.20010214 -- etc
/usr/src/oskit.build -- here is where
I compiled OSKit from
/usr/src/oskit-mach.build -- likewise for
oskit-mach
I compiled oskit with no prefix ( default /usr/local )
and oskit-mach with --prefix=
But now for some reason I cannot trace into the files properly. Grrr...
The (non-smp) kernel I made booted but I didn't try and debug
it since it worked. It's debugging symbols are likely wrong too.
I tell you, this stuff is _soo_ tricky. I suppose I will just make ./build
subdirs inside the sources and compile the whole mess once again.
( do it again Stimpy! )
Good thing I have lots of Zen...
Oh, I notice that some of my kernel i/o is going through the serial
port now in debugging mode. I'd rather stdout and stderr go to the
default console and not gdb unless I explicitly set it that way. How
do I set this, or is it a bug?
At least I have made 1 bootable oskit-mach kernel (save that sucker!)
Auf Wiedersehen!
