L4-Linux

Hallo Hackers,

I found (i hope so) the reason for the kbd: sig_sched: invalid
ext_preempter in
L4-Linux,  reported earlier.

In file :
    linux/arch/l4-i386/lib/task.c
in function:
    start_linux_server_thread()
is used the variable
    l4_threadid_t     foo_id
uninitialized.
I set foo_id to L4_INVALID_ID and the sig_sched disappears. But i don't
if this is intended from the authors.

L4Linux boots now up to tty-init and hangs than.
Also the null-pointer test gives an error message.

Regards
Harald Fritzsche
