error starting "/bin/sh"

[diver]

Since some time (about month) now Haiku don't boot on my hw anymore. I enabled onscreen degug output and last 2 lines which look relevant are:

team_create_thread_start: Could not create default user region
error starting "/bin/sh" error = -1

Did you build it yourself? Check to see if you don't have a conflict in the HaikuImage file. I've had this a few times after updating.

[diver]

Yes, I build it myself, HaikuImage file is unchanged. vmware image generated from the same sources works just fine.

[diver]

Ok, it took me two days and many hours of recompiling, but I tracked down this to the last working revision.

hrev27232 works hrev27233 don't

[bonefish]

That revision enabled swap support, so I suppose, if you take a current revision and disable swap support (by commenting out the #define ENABLE_SWAP_SUPPORT line in haiku/trunk/headers/private/kernel/vm_types.h), it should work again, right?

Since this apparently has something to do with your hardware, how much RAM do you have and how much free space on the Haiku partition?

In hrev27835 I've added the error code to the "team_create_thread_start:..." message. Could you please check what it says.

[diver]

I commented out #define ENABLE_SWAP_SUPPORT in current revision, but now it won't build.

My Haiku partition is 2,9 Gb and I have 1280 Mb of ram: 512+512+256.

[axeld]

Build fixed in hrev27838, can you please try again? And this problem is 100% reproducible for you?

[diver]

Yes, it is 100% reproducible since hrev27233. I usually update my svn tree twice a week.

[diver]

Ok, I've updated to current revision. Now I get

team_create_thread_start: Could not create default user region: Out of memory
error starting "/bin/sh" error = -1

If I comment out #define ENABLE_SWAP_SUPPORT Haiku boots ok.

According to the source, the error message should be: team_create_thread_start: Could not create default user stack region: Out of memory

[diver]

Sure it is.

[bonefish]

Can reproduce the problem with the same RAM setting.

[bonefish]

Fixed in hrev27877.

[diver]

Thanks!
