L4Linux on AMD NF7-S

Hi.

I'm trying to get l4linux to run on an AMD Athlon with a NF7-S mother
board. I have managed to get linux to run, but only by removing the PCI
bus support from the kernel completely. Other attempts at compiling the
kernel have resulted in one of two errors when loading:

loader  | module path <(nd)/fiasco/hdboot>
loader  | <vmlinuz.l4env>, args <l4irqack=linux mem=64M no-scroll
load_ramdisk=
loader  : 1 ramdisk_size=16384 root=/dev/ram0 ro
l4env_rd=(nd)/fiasco/drops-rd.
loader  : rd>
loader  |   <vmlinuz.l4env>: priority: a0
exec    | vmlinuz.l4env: Loading
tftp    | Loading (nd)/fiasco/hdboot/vmlinuz.l4env [1146kB]
exec    | vmlinuz.l4env: Too many (>4) loadable program sections
loader  | vmlinuz.l4env: Error -2001 (EXEC: Invalid file format) while
loading
loader  | ==> App successfully purged

OR,

Has anyone managed to get this right before, without removing the PCI
support? How? Any suggestions?

Thanx in advance,
