I just installed Haiku beta5 on physical hardware (9900k + GTX 1050 Ti), and I have been getting an error about SMAP protection every time I get to the desktop. If I disable SMAP/SMEP protection from the bootloader everything works perfectly fine, but having to disable it every boot is quite a pain. There isn’t an entry in the kernel config or other places, so I’m not entirely sure how to disable it.
In short:
How could I persistently disable SMAP/SMEP every boot?
/boot/home/config/settings/kernel/drivers/kernel
I have looked in there but there isn’t an option to disable it
I would test with a nightly to check if that problem has been fixed.
I was thinking about that but I might have to reinstall (although it only takes like 3 minutes). If it’s like Alpine Linux where you can upgrade from a non-nightly install that would be nice
You can just switch from beta5 to nightly, see the following guide.
Or you can test it live by creating an USB key or burning an optical media.
UNTESTED
Despite not being there, try adding disable_smep_smap true. (Notice it says smep_smap, not the other way around)
Now it works without me having to press space a ton of times every boot to get into the menu, thank you so much (I should report the SMAP error to the bug tracker though)
