roottask problem?? help!!!

[huang]

hi,dear all:

   When I tried to use the l4env nameserver "names" to help doing sth, I found it doesn't work. For example, the logserver "log" can not
register at nameserver, so it fall asleep, so does names_demo. I examed and tested the names.c, and I modified a few lines of code in main()
such as:

...
if(rmgr_init())
 	printf("roottask service unavailable!\n");
else
    printf("roottask service init successfully!\n");
...

then I rebuilded names, and tested again with modules listed in menu.lst:

title hello world
kernel (hd0,0)/fiasco/bootstrap
modaddr 0x02000000
module (hd0,0)/fiasco/fiasco -nokdb -nowait
module (hd0,0)/fiasco/sigma0
module (hd0,0)/fiasco/roottask
module (hd0,0)/fiasco/names
module (hd0,0)/fiasco/names_demo

the output screen is in the attachement roottask.jpg, the key output is
names	| roottask service unavailable!

Is this really caused by roottask??

In the manual tut.pdf, the menu.lst is as below:

title Hi world, server version
  kernel (nd)/tftpboot/yourname/bin/x86_586/l4v2/bootstrap
  modaddr 0x02000000
  module (nd)/tftpboot/yourname/bin/fiasco -nokdb -nowait
  module (nd)/tftpboot/yourname/bin/x86_586/l4v2/sigma0
  module (nd)/tftpboot/yourname/bin/x86_586/l4vs/roottask
  module (nd)/tftpboot/yourname/bin/x86_586/l4v2/log
  module (nd)/tftpboot/yourname/bin/x86_586/l4v2/names
  module (nd)/tftpboot/yourname/bin/x86_586/l4v2/dm_phys
  module (nd)/tftpboot/yourname/bin/x86_586/l4v2/hiserver 
  module (nd)/tftpboot/yourname/bin/x86_586/l4v2/hiclient

I found the line of roottask is different from other lines in "l4vs", while others are "l4v2". What is the difference?

best wishes!
