I can break in gdb, and I find myself here: Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. 0x100797e1 in __libc_nanosleep () (gdb) bt #0 0x100797e1 in __libc_nanosleep () #1 0x100797a3 in __sleep (seconds=10) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sleep.c:82 #2 0x1006f15e in do_idle () at process_kern.c:431 #3 0x1006f20c in cpu_idle () at process_kern.c:457 #4 0x100af310 in start_kernel () at init/main.c:592 #5 0x1006d956 in start_kernel_proc (unused=0x0) at um_arch.c:70 #6 0x1006d36a in signal_tramp (arg=0x1006d918) at trap_user.c:49 ( I can't get ps because I don't know how to get another console - the initial console is stuck. I'd better figure out how to get another console. This is all I have for now - I could go examine the process lists in gdb, but I'd rather just get another console open... -- Daniel |

Right now I'm focussed on the project I'm doing, and this isn't really an obstacle, but still, it needs to be tracked down. Here goes again. -- Daniel |

OK, backgrounding it in single user didn't work - top kept running but as soon as I exited I didn't have a console any more. I'd better try to boot the system completely - about time I did. I'll do it with devfs, some time tomorrow. -- Daniel |
