> Any further thoughts? The problem is that make_dev() calls devlock(), which requires curthread to be valid to take out a mutex. The fix is to put the hand-crafting of proc0, thread0 and pcpu data and mutex_init to be *before* the call to cninit(). This is why i386 works. I had the same problem on PPC, and fortunately had the psim simulator to work out what was going on. later, Peter.help
