Error 80020190 on loading Usermodule

[Coldbird]

I wanted to do it like TyRaNiD and load a little usermodule to circumvent some user / kernel limitations and import some of my kernel module exports...

Sounds nice in theory, that's what happens when I try to turn it into reality.

Code: Select all

Kernel Loader Start
Module Loader patched. Adhoc -> Infra.
ms0:/seplugins/onliner/onliner_user.prx loaded just fine.
ms0:/seplugins/onliner/onliner_user.prx Start: 80020190 - Status: 0
Kernel Loader End

Starting the module results in sceKernelStartModule returning 80020190 which means "no memory" if that error list i checked is right.

But how can a usermodule that has a - pretty empty - module_start and no module_stop and is only 1.1 Kilobyte in size to produce such a error?

I'm pasting the sourcecode of the files in here so you guys have a easier time helping me figure this out.

I beg you guys help me out with this one.
To give some more information, I'm loading the kernel module just fine using game.txt in custom firmware 5.50 GEN-D3, the kernel module in turn loads this user module and starts it but fails with the error mentioned above.

I've tested this with several umds, including (but not limited to just):
Warriors Orochi 2, Dungeon Siege - Throne of Agony, and Final Fantasy Dissidia.

1. Problem solved. For those having the same problem, try to be fast, give your kernel loader a high priority and sneak the module into memory before libc has a chance to allocate the rest of memory for its own heap / stack.

2. Problem arises...

Code: Select all

Kernel Loader Start
ms0:/seplugins/onliner/onliner_user.prx loaded just fine.
ms0:/seplugins/onliner/onliner_user.prx Start: 03C39B15 - Status: 0
Module Loader patched. Adhoc -> Infra.
Kernel Loader End

Module starts fine now... but where in gods sake is the debug output of module_start? "User Module is alive!" is nowhere to be seen in the debug output...
