Re: cannot set up LDT for thread-local storage



I found pr 33487.
This was for dom0 i386 for NetBSD 3.99.19.

I have been running a version of firefox-linux on a dom0 i386 NetBSD-4.0 without problem. Maybe I was just lucky.

Is there another pr which has this issue?

Dear Xen people,
  I have amd64 dom0 - xen 3.3 current as of about 9/27.
  I have created two i386 domu - one NetBSD-4.0 and one NetBSD-4.99
both
using netbsd-XEN3PAE_DOMU from 4.99 as of about 9/27 - both domu installed
fine.
  I have installed a firefox-bin-3.0.2 binary package or build from
pkgsrc - it seems to install fine.  When I run I get:

cannot set up thread-local storage: cannot set up LDT for thread-local
storage

  Is this a limitation of NetBSD linux emulation under Xen domu?

Do you have kernel options USER_LDT?
I was using the daily kernel netbsd-XEN3PAE_DOMU from 4.99 as of about 9/27

In looking at the config for this kernel it had USER_LDT commented out (in
included XEN2_DOMU).  I added that option and built a kernel - rebooted
with new kernel.  When I attempt to start firefox-linux I now get:

That's why it's commented out :)
this is a known issue; and there's a PR open about it ...
