vax -current kernel trouble



Hi all,

I'm aware that vax may not be considered very stable right now, but at least a kernel builds again. This looks to be the work of Matt Thomas so Matt, if you're reading this, thank you very much!

On to the problem. A -current kernel will begin booting, but as soon as it prints the memory sizes it drops right back to the ROM monitor. It looks like:

...
VAXstation 3100/m{30,40}
cpu: KA41/42
cpu: Enabling primary cache, secondary cache
total memory = 8060 KB
avail memory = 6076 KB

and then I immediately get returned to the monitor.  The next line should be

mainbus0 (root)

I compiled a kernel with DEBUG on but didn't see any change at all. How should I go about debugging this?
