You might be onto something -- For a non-booting kernel the .got size is over 64k (0x159c0), for a booting kernel, the .got size is less than 64k (0xf8c0).

Lets see if its the problem first. Just to make sure, try > moving the call_pal halt to the beginning of trap(). You can use the > inline alpha_pal_halt() for this. It still never makes it to trap. It still halts with a PC in the data segment & the RA in XentMM. Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
