I'll look into that thank you!

Yes it was started with the right option. To my embarressment I have
to admit that the problem must have been some hardware connection
issue which wasn't obvious because I could configure uboot through the
same connection. Now it works even though I reversed all changes I
made.

So far so good I have a working shell with one L4Linux instance I'm
trying to find out more about the way that the hardware is passed
through to L4Linux.
Still all the documentation that I could find were some guides on how
to compile the basic system and the L4Re documentation which to be
honest doesn't help an awfull lot to get started.
The IGEP-Board has two serial port which would be perfect to give each
of the two instances I'd like to run one serial port to communicate.
As I can't find any configuration setting in L4Re or Fiasco on which
COM-Port it uses I'm again kind of suck. Any piece of advice is
appreciated.

Regards Tobi
