I've got JBoss 4.2.0 GA on two computers windows and linux. On Windos everything works fine, but on Linux I get during the startup something like this:

Looks OK:

2007-08-16 16:00:10,620 DEBUG [org.jboss.system.ServiceController] Creating service jboss:service=TransactionManager
2007-08-16 16:00:10,620 DEBUG [com.arjuna.ats.jbossatx.jta.TransactionManagerService] Creating jboss:service=TransactionManager
2007-08-16 16:00:10,620 DEBUG [com.arjuna.ats.jbossatx.jta.TransactionManagerService] Created jboss:service=TransactionManager

But then

2007-08-16 16:00:13,147 FATAL [com.arjuna.ats.jbossatx.jta.TransactionManagerService] Failed to start recovery manager
java.lang.NullPointerException
....etc...

...etc...

2007-08-16 16:00:13,161 WARN [org.jboss.system.ServiceController] Problem starting service jboss:service=TransactionManager
java.lang.NullPointerException

then lots of incomplete deployment and :

Server starts. I see the 'hello' page, but I can't run jmx-console.

I really don't know what to do with this.
