>Number: 390 >Category: i386 >Synopsis: missing parameter in function "boot" >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs (FreeBSD bugs mailing list) >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Tue May 9 12:40:01 1995 >Originator: DI. Christian Gusenbauer >Organization: >Release: FreeBSD 2.0-BUILT-19950505 i386 >Environment: using kzip'ed kernels >Description: The bootstrap loader starts the kernel and passes one argument "howto" to the kernel. This is also true when using kzip'ed kernels, but in "/sys/i386/boot/kzipboot/head.S" the function "_boot" is called which puts another int on the stack, so the parameter "howto" of the function "boot" refers to the wrong address. >How-To-Repeat: Just boot a kzip'ed kernel. >Fix: Add a dummy-parameter to the function "boot", like: void boot (int dummy, int howto) >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
