[Oberon] clock_gettime

[Felix Friedrich]

Dear Peter

As Michael wrote you probably need to

export AOSCONFIG="TraceModules 1"

before starting A2.
When I start A2 using this, the kernel shows this:

felix at deka:~/oberon/Linux64$ export AOSCONFIG="TraceModules 1"
felix at deka:~/oberon/Linux64$ ./a2.sh
publish Objects

publish GenericLinker
publish Loader
publish Options
publish ProcessInfo0
publish ProcessInfo
publish Plugins
publish CRC
publish SystemVersion
publish System
publish StdIOShell
GC mode : metadata
 >L>Configuration
...

This might shed some light into where the actual problem begins. It 
might be deep in the kernel, it might also be in some loaded module. It 
certainly happens before the WORK file system mount occurs.

Can you try that again? I otherwise also have no idea how to locate the 
problem without a proper trace. The trap does also not hint towards a 
failed call of get_time (that would rather be a segmentation violation 
trap with a call to address zero).

Kind regards
Felix
