#238 init process segfaults under vmware
I very much like what I'm seeing in the Elara 0.5-pre4
LightGUI release, except that it fails to boot properly
in a VMware virtual machine Here's the relevant portion
of the boot console:
--
Starting init process.
INIT: version 2.86 booting
/etc/init.d/rcS: line 57: 1172 Segmentation fault $i start
INIT: PANIC: segmentation violation at )x804a33c
(code)! sleeping for 30 seconds.
INIT: Entereing runlevel: 2
INIT: Id "1 respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel
--
It hangs there, repeating the "respawning too fast"
line every 5 minutes. It boots every other box I've
tried perfectly.
I've tried the failsafe and no(scsi/dma/nothing) modes
with the same result.
I've also copied off the kernel and miniroot files to
the hd, and removed the cd. this drops me to busybox,
but it seems that every other command I run from the
shell also segfaults and hangs the whole show.
I've also been digging in the linuxrc for new debugging
facilities ($DEBUGMORPHIX). I got the debugging shell
near the end of the found_morphix section, but it also
segfaults most commands. The linuxrc script then picks
up right where it left off, dutifully depositing me at
the INIT panic listed above.
I'm going to pound on this some more, stay tuned...

Hi,
pre4 boots perfectly in a Virtual-PC-2004 environment with 192 MB assigned memory.
