Pintos Programming Project 2

Question

Does Pintos have to be installed in a different way for the second Project (User Programs)? Whenever I try to run pintos -f -q on my installation, I get an error where Pintos doesn't recognize the arguments "-f".

Back to tcg accelerator.

Loading..........
Kernel command line: -f -q
Kernel PANIC at ../../threads/init.c:264 in parse_options(): unknown option `-f' (use -h for help)
Call stack: 0xc00283de.
The `backtrace' program can make call stacks useful.
Read "Backtraces" in the "Debugging Tools" chapter
of the Pintos documentation for more information.

This is where all the arguments are handled by Pintos: http://www.cse.iitd.ernet.in/~sbansal/csl373/pintos/doc/pintos_html/init_8c-source.html I can't find the definition of FILESYS anywhere either. Can someone please help me out here?

Answer 1

Had the same problem You need to point the Kernel and Loader to the Kernel and Loader in userprog/build instead of threads/build as done while installing pintos

Answer 2

In utils/pintos change line number 259 to /home/<your home username>/<pintos dir>/src/userprog/build/kernel.bin

In utils/Pintos.pm change line number 362 to /home/<your home username>/<pintos dir>/src/userprog/build/loader.bin

Run make in userprog, utils again.
