Hi!
---

I recently had some problems running Linux binaries on top of my
3.0-current-SMP machine. My first thaught has been that this would
be an SMP specific issue, but now that I have also tried it on a
normal uniprocessor kernel which doesn't work either, I'm somewhat
certain that it isn't only SMP specific. The background for this is
the following:

FreeBSD 3.0-current as of 07/19/97.
Uniprocessor kernel with statically compiled in COMPAT_LINUX.
The following Linux binaries:

1) xquake
2) xf86quake
3) qwsv

All of the above binaries are ELF-32 bit LSB executables, Intel 80386,
version 1, dynamically linked, stripped. None of them works, neither on
a UP kernel, nor on a SMP kernel. All that happens after starting
one of the above mentioned binaries is that the machine hangs up completely.
Mouse in X11R6 doesn't move anymore, system does not react to ctrl-alt-del
or debugger break (ctrl-prtscr) and no chance to login via serial terminal.

The binary "xquake" used to run on FreeBSD SMP as of 02/09/97, "xf86quake"
was reported to run on a friends FreeBSD 2.2-RELEASE machine and "qwsv"
runs just at this moment on a 486DX box using FreeBSD 3.0-current as of
02/09/97 with LINUX lkm.

Any help appreciated.

Regards, Mickey
