I've been running l4linux in l4env mode for some time, but some errors never ceased to exist. The first error consists on page faulting. The error consists on the dm_phys saying it page faulted correctly, but the task i was running blocks... to what values must or wich commands sould i use in order to increase the memory so that i can proceed with the tasks?
I do not really understand your problem. dm_phys usually allocates all memory it can get, so there's nothing to increase. Is this task running in L4Linux? If so, what role does dm_phys play here? What do you mean with "page faulted correctly" and then blocks? If the thread blocks the reason could be a missing mapping.
The other error happens when i try to reboot. When i halt the system, no problem arises. bue when i try to reboot, the systems always pagefaults... what's the problem with that?
Previous L4Linux versions could be shut down with this sequence as the loader would special case this page fault. Now the region manager is catching this and complaining, so this actually needs to be done in other ways. (Simplest way, comment out the block and add a l4_sleep_forever()). I guess 2.6 does it right. Anyway, rebooting isn't possible anyway so 'halt' has the same meaning here.
