Subject: [9fans] 9vx crashing
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 0ae8fe52-ead6-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025


Just an FYI.  I've been working on getting 9vx running on a TinyCoreLinux USB
stick, and I have been having 9vx crash in odd ways and wanted to post a note
about it.

For starters, I am building 9vx from hg source and using the root from 9vx's
2008/7/1 release 9vx-0.12.  There are three points of possible interest:

1) the base root does not have libc.a which means that I can compile program,
but not link them.

2) I installed Erik's find utility and running it gave the error:

     find 2062: suicide: sys: trap: invalid opcode pc=0x00005001

   from inside 9vx, and:

     invalid opcode ff ff ba at eip 00005001

   in the linux terminal that spawned it.

3) I was able to resolve both problems by replace the Plan 9 root with one
copied from a recent 9atom.iso, however I am not finished testing that though.
