Bug 631924 – sys-freebsd/freebsd-sources: can't boot the kernel compiled with binutils-2.29.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Yuta SATOH 2017-09-24 11:41:30 UTC]

I've compiled the FreeBSD kernel with binutils-2.29, it can't boot.
I would suggest masking binutils-2.29 or changing its KEYWORDS to -amd64-fbsd, -x86-fbsd until we fix this issue.

Thanks.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. binutils-config x86_64-gentoo-freebsd11.1-2.29
2. . /etc/profile
3. emerge freebsd-sources
4. reboot



boot log:
/boot/kernel/kernel text=0x1405284 data=0x1576f0+0x4c35a8 syms=[0x8+0x177480+0x8+0x13e837]

can't load 'kernel'

Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK 

And, the kernel compiled with binutils-2.28.1 can be booted:
OK load /boot/kernel.binutils2281/kernel
/boot/kernel.binutils2281/kernel text=0x1406288 data=0x1576f0+0x4c35a8 syms=[0x8+0x177480+0x8+0x13e837]
OK boot
Booting...

I've checked that this bug has been fixed in binutils-2.29.1.
closing.
