No, I should have separated the two messages more clearly. I meant this 
part:

It's just like this, the system stops at this line and I cannot get into 
JDB (with the Escape key this time). Qemu itself remains responsive, I 
can e.g. access its monitor.
This only happens when I specify 'l4ser.vkey_irq=17' as argument for 
L4Linux, otherwise I get only the output of L4Linux on the serial line 
but the system runs happily.

Andi
