I am having problems using the snapshot. It builds and boots ok but as soon as I try to fork/exec another program it freezes.
I am using a Cyrix processor (without the 4MB page extensions), and the latest Fiasco snapshot (including the released patches) as well as the latest L4Linux server and patches. [...]
I suppose by fork/exec you mean the corresponding L4Linux system calls?
If your problem is related to your CPU not having 4MB-page extensions, then there's a good chance that I will come across it this week: Other people have reported problems with non-Pentium CPUs too, so my sysadmin has organized an old 486 for me to debug Fiasco on.
