L4Linux boot stop "param_word bits 16-19 must be 0. Fix your bindings!"

[David Denny]

Hello Hackers

booting l4linux stops with:

KDB: thread_schedule: param_word bits 16-19 must be 0. Fix your bindings!

My grub menu contains:


 +-------------------------------------------------------------------[0]---+
 |  0: kernel (hd0,2)/denny/Dresden/rmgr -sigma0                           |
 |  1: modaddr 0x02000000                                                  |
 |  2: module (hd0,2)/denny/Dresden/main -nokdb -nowait -comspeed 9600 -com|
 |  3: module (hd0,2)/denny/Dresden/sigma0                                 |
 |  4: module (hd0,2)/denny/Dresden/glinux root=/dev/hda3                  |
 |  5: module (hd0,2)/denny/Dresden/hello

umm, pasting from the remote serial console.. line 2 ends in "-comport 1"

OK let's reboot the big system & paste the whole thing. BTW your hackked grub is now sitting in the mbr of (hd0) AND it WORKS ! 8-)

Apols I have not gone the netboot road, as "all"! my boxes are totally different there are too many risks for cross compiling, I compile for the OS and box where it loads from.

Host OS is SuSE8.2 with linux22 compiled under 2.95.3 and l4 + the rest under 3.2 (i.e. reverted), all compiles terminated OK, all libraries & dependencies found to the best of my ability. 

The same error has stopped me for some 24 hours; I have been round the houses tidying up all I can find here so I await your advice with eagerness.

In the meantime, to get a bit nearer, I have the Debian system ready for a similar assault when I have my energy restored...

TIA
