booting L4Linux...

[Tiago João Portela Jorge]

my L4Linux is having trouble booting...

My Menu.lst is:

title		Fiasco Linux
kernel		(nd)/rmgr -sigma0 task modname "vmlinuz" module
modaddr		0x02000000
module		(nd)/main -nokdb -nowait -serial_esc -comspeed 115200 -comport 1

module 		(nd)/vmlinuz.V2 no-scroll no-hlt l4irqack=linux load_ramdisk=1
ramdisk_size=16384 root=/dev/ram
module 		(nd)/drops.rd

And here is the output:
