L4Linux hangs on self-compiled fiasco

[Björn Fischer]

Hello,
I am trying to build the complete DROPS including fiasco, DoPE and
L4Linux.

As a starting point I had the demo CD from the OS research day 2004.
At first I used the binaries from the cd (including the config files)
and ran them on top of vmware. Modules were loaded successfully via
tftp and worked (well, when accessing the cd, L4Linux had the prob
that there was no cd anymore, but at least the kernel worked well).

After that I compiled the cvs tree and replaced the binaries by the
own-compiled ones. It seems that fiasco and DOpE work fine since it
renders nice windows and so on. But when it comes to starting L4Linux
it crashes - well, in fact it just "hangs" and does nothing anymore.
The weird thing is that the bootmessages, the ones printed in the "\ m
/" window do not end at a reproducable point. Sometimes it comes up to
"======> L4Linux 2.6 starting <========", sometimes only up to "loader
: vmlinuz26,#d: Continue at l4env_init (00014264, libloader.s.so)",
sometimes it hangs in the middle of a message.

These are my config-files:

menu.lst:

ramdisk_size=4096 l4env_rd=drops-rd.rd lang=us"
  allow_cli
  priority 0xA0
--------------------------------

Does anybody know what kernel options I could try to fix this? Oder
does anybody have any idea? Am I doing something wrong? I used gcc
2.95.3 to compile.

Many thanks and greetings
