Thanks martin for advice. I tried to reload L4Linux with event server
but still failed though some incorrect behavior disappeared. After
shutdown loaded L4Linux, l4con showed the memory used by L4Linux was
returned. But using 'a' command in run (not l4con, it's my mistake in
previous mail) memory region is still allocated to the L4Linux. And
reloading L4Linux still failed. Booting reloaded L4Linux hung in
acquiring IRQ 11 (network card) and CPU utilization became 100%.
And I couldn't find using levent library or event related functions
(levents_*) in either L4Linux Makefile (l4linux-2.6/arch/l4/Makefile) or
any L4Linux sources. This is needed to use the event server, isn't it?
Please see the attached my grub configuration and log.
