[parisc-linux] What's a "Trace/breakpoint trap" and why does he crash my system?

[thunder7]

Well, I can boot 2.4.9-pa13 just fine on my C200, but trying to compile
a kernel under that version never works, typing

make proper

in the source directory doesn't produce any output but

Trace/breakpoint error

after one second or so.

I realize this is a worthless bug-report, but where does that message
come from? The text is nowhere in the kernel-sources, so it must be
something else.

I tried running make under strace, and it ran fine. So I tried it again,
and I saw this:

and then it hang. On reboot, it gave the same 'Trace/breakpoint trap'
error, but didn't hang. Next time I tried it, it did hang.

hmm.. what version of glibc do you have installed?  something else you
can do is run strace -ff which will attempt to follow fork/clone/vfork.

As answered before, 2.2.3-9.

Since this seems to happen with 2.4.9-pa13 and not with 2.4.0 from the
0.9.2 ISO, perhaps I ought to do some checking when exactly it broke.

Can anybody point me to a quick cvs reference, starting with

cd [somewhere]
tar zxvf linux-latest.tar.gz

and then? I'm only interested in extracting certain
kernel-versions (by date?).

Thanks,
Jurriaan

<snip strace output>

one strance thing is that it will run correctly under gdb (the 5.0-4
version off the 0.9.2 iso).

Without gdb, it always prints
Trace/breakpoint trap

and no other output. The C200 then hangs, 90% of the time even the
power-switch doesn't work. I'm getting some sort of yoga-training just
trying to reach behind it for the power-cord :-)

Since I don't know how to get earlier kernels (it doesn't work in
2.4.9-pa13, it works with 2.4.0 from the 0.9.2 iso) I can't do anything
else than whine about it again. Sorry about that.
