Shell causing system reboot after typing single letter "a"

Open MinusPL opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

When you type single letter a in shell it will cause immediate system reboot. Only letter a causes this issue.

How to fix:

  • Debug shell to see in which function program causes issue
  • Check what parameters are passed to that function and how they differ when passing different parameters than "a"
  • Debug syscall that should be called within that function
  • Check syscall behaviour when it receives "a" and other parameters

Good first issue to solve. Basic programming and debugging knowledge required. Good for newcomers in project.

Also yet another clue for someone who might want to start their participation here. Problem is caused by other letters assigned to partitions. If we have also partitions B: C: etc it will also cause reboot with b and c.
