ok, i think i can explain the "unlock of ilock: pc f0140fc5, held by ..." message.
i extracted that 9pcflop kernel with muzgos cdfpart from the current iso and disassembled with acid arround. the routine that calls unlock looks like this: the routine that calls the unlock (shutdown from ether79c970.c) 0xf0140f79 0xf0140f79 SUBL $0x14,SP 0xf0140f7c 0xf0140f7c MOVL 0x18(SP),AX # ctlr = arg->foobar 0xf0140f80 0xf0140f80 MOVL 0x78(AX),CX 0xf0140f83 0xf0140f83 MOVL CX,0x10(SP) 0xf0140f87 0xf0140f87 MOVL CX,0x0(SP) # ilock(ctlr) 0xf0140f8a 0xf0140f8a CALL 0xf019af31 0xf0140f8f 0xf0140f8f MOVL 0x10(SP),AX 0xf0140f93 0xf0140f93 MOVL AX,0x0(SP) 0xf0140f96 0xf0140f96 MOVL $0x18,AX 0xf0140f9b 0xf0140f9b MOVL AX,0x4(SP) # io32r(ctlr, 0x18) ??? 0xf0140f9f 0xf0140f9f CALL 0xf01409b4 0xf0140fa4 0xf0140fa4 MOVL 0x10(SP),AX 0xf0140fa8 0xf0140fa8 MOVL AX,0x0(SP) 0xf0140fab 0xf0140fab MOVL $0x18,AX 0xf0140fb0 0xf0140fb0 MOVL AX,0x4(SP) # io16r(ctlr, 0x18); 0xf0140fb4 0xf0140fb4 CALL 0xf014093f 0xf0140fb9 0xf0140fb9 MOVL 0x10(SP),AX 0xf0140fbd 0xf0140fbd MOVL AX,0x0(SP) # unlock(ctlr) 0xf0140fc0 0xf0140fc0 CALL 0xf019b0be 0xf0140fc5 0xf0140fc5 ADDL $0x14,SP 0xf0140fc8 0xf0140fc8 RET it have no debug symbols so i looked for magic numbers arround (in this case 0x18) wich turned out to be: ether79c970.c:31: Sreset = 0x0018, /* software reset */ # this looks like io32r() from ether79c970.c acid: asm(0xf01409b4) 0xf01409b4 0xf01409b4 SUBL $0x8,SP 0xf01409b7 0xf01409b7 MOVL 0xc(SP),CX # port = arg2 0xf01409bb 0xf01409bb MOVL 0x1c(CX),CX # port += arg1 0xf01409be 0xf01409be ADDL 0x10(SP),CX 0xf01409c2 0xf01409c2 MOVL CX,0x0(SP) # inl(port) 0xf01409c5 0xf01409c5 CALL 0xf010036e 0xf01409ca 0xf01409ca ADDL $0x8,SP 0xf01409cd 0xf01409cd RET # this is inl() acid: asm(0xf010036e) 0xf010036e 0xf010036e MOVL 0x4(SP),DX 0xf0100372 0xf0100372 INL DX,AX 0xf0100373 0xf0100373 RET so there is your bug! static void shutdown(Ether *ether) { Ctlr *ctlr; ctlr = ether->ctlr; ilock(ctlr); io32r(ctlr, Sreset); io16r(ctlr, Sreset); unlock(ctlr); } it was commented out before... the file just changed... i think they try to fix it right now... -- cinap
