I’m sorry to bother, again… But I keep getting problems hope you can give me some advice.

I’m trying to test out L4re +L4Linux on X86 and ARM i.MX6. I downloaded the newest l4re-snapshot-2006082114. I built Fiasco with Intel Pentium Pro and Virtualization (did not change anything else).
I built L4re with Pentium Pro type CPU (everything else are default settings). Then I built L4Linux with the L4re builddir. I turned off 64-bit kernel, CPU selected Pentium-Pro, turned off most of the settings as the warning instructed.

These are the settings of L4Linux that I enabled:

Processor type and features:
* DMA memory allocation support
* Processor feature human-readable name
* Fast CPU feature tests
* Support for extended X86 platform
* Single-depth WCHAN output
* High memory support is OFF
* Enable bounce buffers
* X86 architectural random number generator
* Enable seccomp to safety compute untrusted bytecode
* Enable the LDT

Power Management and ACPI options:
* Suspend to RAM and standby
* device power management core functionality
* CPU Frequency scaling is OFF
Bus Options:
* PCI support
* PCI access mode is Direct

That's ok. You can also use one of the defconfigs, e.g.
x86_32-mp_vPCI_defconfig.

I was able to compile all three parts and build both iso image (for vmware fusion on macOS) and qemu simulator. I first tested hello, hello-cfg, hello-shared, frame buffer-example-x86, all of those works as expected.

Ok, good.

However when I tried to build L4Linux-basic and L4Linux-mag-x86. Not of them works.

for L4Linux-mag-x86 the system shows a diagram “system is booting” then hang forever.

In such a case it is essential to have the serial output to see what's
going on as we won't see anything on the graphical screen in this case.

for L4Linux-basic the image boot but freeze soon. The screen shows:

l4cdds: No name given, not starting
brd: module loaded

Please press Enter to activate this console. clocksource: tsc: mask: 0xffffffffffffffff max_cycles: 0x2845e81c5f6, max-idle_ns: 440795276432 ns

That actually looks good. It finished booting as it is supposed to do.
Is input not working, i.e. pressing enter?
