It was apparently due to a faulty USB mass storage device. Problem solved.

@salass00

That is good to know. Thanks! I will modify the code accordingly.

For now, I have solved the original problem of the thread. It happened, because there was a hidden call to newlib from inside the debug hook. Or at least removing the newlib call changed the behavior to not crashing.

I have created this class :

#include <proto/application.h>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
class Config {
private:
struct Library *ApplicationBase = NULL;
struct ApplicationIFace *IApplication = NULL;
struct PrefsObjectsIFace *IPrefsObjects = NULL;
private ...

Ok, so the strdup() is redundant. Good to know!

@salass00

If I understand this correctly, then DupFileHandle() at the NP_Input tag is the way to go? Or I am not able to specficy NP_Arguments and NP_Input simultaneously? This is a little confusing. I can remove either one of them, but it ...

@billyfish

Thanks! It is definitely a good thing to safeguard these variables. I have inserted a strdup. Sadly it didn't solve the problem.

When working with Spotless (the debugger), I am running into a problem with the PIPE: device.

The problem arises, when I load Spotless into Spotless (self-debugging). Upon Start (IExec->RestartTask()) the child will crash on this line :

fd[1] = IDOS->Open ("PIPE:/UNIQUE/NOBLOCK", MODE_NEWFILE ...

@xeno74

So this one would do it?

Do I need anything else ...

@xeno74

rootdelay=5 doesn't solve the issue.

@xeno74

I managed to boot the usb from kernel 4.19, copied the kernel_modules for 5.0, and now the keyboard and mouse work right out of the box.

5.0 seems to boot slightly more consistently than 4.19.

5.0 has problems booting from usb. It doesn't recognize root=/dev/sdb2.

@xeno74

Could it be an issue with the /lib/modules files? I have problems copying the 5.0 specific files to my root partition because I can't boot from usb.
