Loading a usermode PRX from a kernelmode PRX

[m0skit0]

I got this error when trying to do that: 0x80020149 (SCE_KERNEL_ERROR_ILLEGAL_PERM_CALL). Can somebody please explain this error?

And is there any way I can load a usermode PRX from a kernelmode PRX? Or otherwise load a usermode PRX as a plugin on CFW?

Thanks for your time! :)

What firmware are you running?

Yes I can explain.

You are probably trying to compile your Kernel Module using newlib, doing so results in Permission Errors on loading modules...

To remedy that you will have to rely on the smaller kernel lib...

So make sure your makefile contains the following 2 lines...

USE_KERNEL_LIBC = 1
USE_KERNEL_LIBS = 1

In doing so you will be able to load modules just fine.
But keep in mind that a lot of newlib features wont be available, so some functions you might be using you will have to reimplement or import yourself...

Yup, was that, thanks for pointing that out :)

Any ideas why it doesn't work with newlib?

Why the hell would anyone use newlib for a kernel module? Just compiling an empty module with it produces 84KiB of bloat.

Thanks Torch, but what I'm asking is why it produces an error, not discussing why someone would or not use it :P
