[erlang-questions] use of opcode 153; this emulator supports only up to 152 after upgrading to R140B4

[Thomas Lindgren]

Bryan,

Try recompiling your source with the R14B04 compiler (or in general, whatever you're targeting). That's the only solution to this I know, though I had this problem some time ago. Maybe there are better ways now.

Here's a question for OTP: shouldn't these sorts of VM-level versioning issues be detected and reported more straightforwardly? I'd prefer a root cause + what to do.
Something like, "foo.beam was compiled for vm-isa-10.0 but VM requires incompatible vm-isa-14.4. To fix this, recompile from source."

Perhaps even better: rewrite the beam files to the new instruction set en masse and/or individually at load time.

Best,
Thomas

>We attempted to upgrade our production server to R140B4 which we built from source on the server but had to bad out due to a serious failure.  The server is running CentOS with a kernel version 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5.  We did a basic .configure/make/make install like we have done every time in the past, but this time, when we tried to bring the application up, we got the following error condition:
