Hello Daniel,
it bangs before main!
I have no clue about debugging, but i was digging the net and found some
infos - so i set another
breakpoint at mainCRTStartup, as this was suggested somewhere.

this is what I get:
Administrator_at_IS030-VM3 ~/build
$ gdb uisw32.exe

(gdb) break mainCRTStartup
Breakpoint 1 at 0x401006
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 2 at 0x419ffa: file ../../firmware/drivers/lcd-recorder.c, line
848.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/rockbox/build/uisw32.exe

Breakpoint 1, 0x00401006 in mainCRTStartup ()
(gdb) cont
Continuing.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000024 in ?? ()
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00000024 in ?? ()
Cannot access memory at address 0x17100fe
(gdb)


So it seems to crash somewhere between mainCRTStartup()? (eeerrrr - what is
that?) and main(). What is executed before main() ?
Whatelse can I do ? I`m happily if I can learn something about debugging....

regards
roland
