Newbie question: L4Linux as a patch
by Pablo Chacin 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

Hi all I'm doing a review of options for virtualization in Linux. From the documentation, it seems that L4Linux is a complete port of the Linux Kernel. I'm wondering if there is a patch (or series of patches) that could be used to modify an standard Linux kernel and make it compatible with the L4 virtualization? The question comes from my scenario: I need to deploy a customized linux kernel and want to do so over L4. This kernel is build from the standard kernel applying some patches. I would like to do the same with L4Linux, so the resulting kernel has my patches plus L4. Is this feasible? has been tested? thanks in advance and please consider I'm new to L4Linux.

Hello, Adam, are you likely to get the source-level symbolic debugging working in jdb in the near future? Using objdump is a bit drastic! ;-) Thanks Daniel

Fiasco.OC

Hi, I want to use 32bit x86 Fiasco.OC with lots of SMP CPUs (48+). Can you tell me where the current 32 (for 32bit) and 64 (for 64bit) limitations exist in the code - and suggest whether this could be changed? Thanks Daniel Waddington

Nokia N900 and Fiasco.OC/l4re
by Valery V. Sedletski 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Hi all Is there a possibility to use Fiasco.OC and L4Re with L4Linux on Nokia N900 internet tablet/phone? Which ARM platform it is compatible with, if so? -- It is based on ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz processor, 256 Mb RAM and 784 Mb swap, Maemo (Debian GNU/Linux based) platform (see http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n900-2917.php, for example). Or, if not so, is it possible to use it with Genode or OKL4? WBR, valery
