segmentation violation on start

[garyng2000]

I tried to run my own node from scratch(i.e. deploy the bridging contracts) and adjust the geth start script but get the following on start(yet another one I did the same a few days ago is fine). what would be the reason for this

Can you try running with --verbosity=6? This appears as if it is failing to pull the statedump from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ethereum-optimism/regenesis/master/mainnet/2.json

[garyng2000]

I found a work around. when starting geth without --dev, the create genesis(i.e. init the datadir, only need once) would fail with this segfault. I then renable it for the first init and later remove it and it still runs fine now.

not sure why though.

[garyng2000]

and talking about the state dump, it seems that that is a constant file regardless of which chain it is intended for(a static compile time info for the contracts project). and I briefly read the the contracts project's build sequence which don't even really care about the chain id either. only at the time of deploy(or running the relayer/geth the chain id would come into play)

[garyng2000]

this is verbosity=6, can't find much info there. my guess is it is expecting something like defaultAccount which --dev provides but is null for all other setup. I tried to give it the keystore(prepopulated) but still the same error. so for now, i settle with --dev on genesis creation then remove it afterwards
