L4 Demo CD problems

[Dave Haddon]

I am using a PC104 stack with a PIII/1Ghz, 256Mb, CD and 6Gig HD... no
floppy..currently running timesys (6.1) (Linux Kernel 2.6.16.16 for
i686)

I eventually got the source for L4 to Compile by leaving out bits that
were causing compiling errors.. RTC for example.. once I got to that
point.. my hard drive died and I had to start from scratch.. arrgghh!!!!

After much stuffing around to find a workable drive for the PC104,
I figured I'd just download the Demo cd and have a whack at that, and it
wouldn't work.. I'm starting to get a bit annoyed..

I originally retrieved the L4linux source from CVS, (l4 and linux-2.6)
and tried to compile it together from the instructions on the DROPS web
and had a lot of missing pieces in timesys, (mainly upto-date PERL and
automake)..

I haven't tried with QEMU or VMware as I have the PC104 on the same
monitor and keyboard.. it is too easy to switch between the PC104 and my
desktop (P4 2.8G, SuSe 9.3, KDE 3.4.0b..with no root permissions...)

Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated..
