Hello! Thanks for the reply and sorry that I have to write from a different account but my link to the host in germany seems to be down since two days now. > On Wed Mar 26, 2003 at 07:38:33 +0100, Fabian Sturm wrote: > > > When I then boot into it I see some messages of the RMGR but > > then the system is frozen. > > > > Maybe someone knows what I should try next to track this down? > > Which version of GRUB are you using? Is it "our" version from CVS? Hmm I just took the newest from apha.gnu.org 0.93. I read that you have an own but I thought that is only needed if you have overlapping modules. > How did you configure Fiasco? Could you supply your configuration > (globalconfig.out)!? Sure. I followed the manual and did a make menuconfig in the build directory. I now also tried with the assertions compiled in but none gets triggered so far.

Hi, finally I managed to get l4linux running without overlapping modules, thanks for the help ! Now I d like to install a Drops console with a con_server, but I don t know where I can download the necessary files. Im also interested in DOpE... id appreciate it if anyone can tell me where to download the files. Daniel

problems running hello in fiasco
by Fabian Sturm 26 Mar '03

26 Mar '03

Hello! I have a problem running the hello world example on fiasco. I downloaded the latest CVS version from 25.4 of fiasco and compiled it like it is described on the web. Except that the sigma0/rmgr binaries were in l4/bin/x86_586/l4v2 and not directly in l4/bin as described. I then created the following grub entry: title Fiasco, hello world root (hd0,4) kernel=/fiasco/rmgr -sigma0 module=/fiasco/main -nokdb module=/fiasco/sigma0 module=/fiasco/hello When I then boot into it I see some messages of the RMGR but then the system is frozen. Maybe someone knows what I should try next to track this down? Thanks a lot, Fabian Sturm My system is a P3 800Mhz 256MB ram notebook with the Intel i815 chipset. (Vaio vx88) The build environment was Debian Linux 3.0 with gcc 2.95.4. The boot messages were: RMGR: Loading /fiasco/sigma0 RMGR: Loading Kernel fiasco main -nokdb RMGR: check_l4_version 0x00300000 to 0x0044a244 RMGR: detected new_style DD-L4(v2)/Fiasco RMGR: configuring s0: (0x00070000, 0x00096000), start: 0x00070000 RMGR: reserve modules memory range: 0x00200000 to 0x0021053c RMGR: starting kernel /fiasco/main -nokdb proto=0x101ba0 @ 0x00300220 Booting kernel image at 0x302000 entry 0xf0001000 Enabling fully serial nested mode for pic Using the RTC on IRQ 8 (1khz) for scheduling (I hope I don't have introduced errors while copying that down)

RE: Problem beim starten von l4linux auf fiasco

If you have overlapping modules you have no chance whatsoever. So you better fix that ;) I'm not too familiar with the FIASCO kernel boot process, but usually the problem is GRUB, not the kernel. GRUB loads the modules after all loaded elf sections of the initial kernel (which is RMGR in your case). RMGR then tries to load the modules as ELF files and figures out that some elf sections collide with the module locations and barks. This was the reason to add the modaddr feature to GRUB allowing to relocate the load address in main mem. Simply try sticking a modaddr=0x<whatevermemoryyouhave-16MB> after the kernel=rmgr line. Note, that this is only available in the Dresden version of GRUB, not the GNU GRUB (at least AFAIK). So bake yourself a boot floppy from http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/~fm3/grub.html. The Linux error message is due to the kernel-debugger console in L4Linux. At the end Linux tries to open the console but since it does not support all required features Lx simply falls back to VGA. So this error can be ignored even if it sounds scary. - Volkmar PS: Please post in English -- most subscribers of this list don't understand a word of German (except maybe "Bier" ;) > -----Original Message----- > From: Rudolf Weber [mailto:rfweber@tesionmail.de] > Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2003 8:21 PM > To: l4-hackers(a)os.inf.tu-dresden.de > Subject: Problem beim starten von l4linux auf fiasco > > > Hallo, > > Vorbemerkung: > Das starten von glinux bringt einen Fehler überlappender Module, > Der Fiasco beginnt da, wo glinux liegt, > folgende Änderung habe ich gemacht: > --- ./l4/kernel/fiasco/src/Makerules.BOOT.vorrudi 2003-02-25 > 11:34:43.000000000 +0100 > +++ ./l4/kernel/fiasco/src/Makerules.BOOT 2003-03-15 > 16:13:58.000000000 +0100 > @@ -7,7 +7,7 @@ > $(BOOT): kernel.o $(OBJ_BOOT) $(LIBKERN) $(MINILIBC) > @echo " ...

RE: enabling/disabling trampoline

This sounds like a problem with RMGR. Try either running L4Linux not using the "flat clan structure" (make xconfig) or enable the "Jochen compatibility/bug mode" for Hazelnut. Have you tried running the binaries of the provided RC2 tarball? They also contain a working L4Linux binary. - Volkmar > -----Original Message----- > From: Cristiano Ligieri Pereira [mailto:cpereira@ics.uci.edu] > Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 9:01 PM > To: Espen Skoglund > Cc: l4-hackers > Subject: Re: enabling/disabling trampoline > > > > I'm not managing to get hazelnut working properly.
