Hello, I am trying to build the complete DROPS including fiasco, DoPE and L4Linux.
As a starting point I had the demo CD from the OS research day 2004. At first I used the binaries from the cd (including the config files) and ran them on top of vmware. Modules were loaded successfully via tftp and worked (well, when accessing the cd, L4Linux had the prob that there was no cd anymore, but at least the kernel worked well).
After that I compiled the cvs tree and replaced the binaries by the own-compiled ones. It seems that fiasco and DOpE work fine since it renders nice windows and so on. But when it comes to starting L4Linux it crashes - well, in fact it just "hangs" and does nothing anymore. The weird thing is that the bootmessages, the ones printed in the "\ m /" window do not end at a reproducable point. Sometimes it comes up to "======> L4Linux 2.6 starting <========", sometimes only up to "loader : vmlinuz26,#d: Continue at l4env_init (00014264, libloader.s.so)", sometimes it hangs in the middle of a message.
These are my config-files:
menu.lst: --------- title L4Linux 2.6 from this CD [DOpE] kernel (nd)/drops/rmgr -sigma0 task modname "bmodfs" module module module module module module module task modname "l4dope" boot_priority 0xA8 modaddr 0x02000000 module (nd)/drops/fiasco -nokdb -nowait -noserial module (nd)/drops/sigma0 module (nd)/drops/names module (nd)/drops/dmon module (nd)/drops/dm_phys module (nd)/drops/simple_ts -t 380 module (nd)/drops/rtc module (nd)/drops/l4io --noirq module (nd)/drops/bmodfs module (nd)/drops/libloader.s.so module (nd)/drops/run.bmodfs.cfg module (nd)/drops/run module (nd)/drops/vmlinuz26 module (nd)/drops/vscrtest module (nd)/drops/cfg/l4linux26.cd.k_us.cfg module (nd)/drops/drops-rd.rd module (nd)/drops/l4exec module (nd)/drops/l4dope --l4io module (nd)/drops/proxygon module (nd)/drops/backdrop -------------------------

Does anybody know what kernel options I could try to fix this? Oder does anybody have any idea? Am I doing something wrong? I used gcc 2.95.3 to compile.
Many thanks and greetings
