I try to run multiple L4Linux instances. Dose L4Linux-2.4 or L4Linux-2.6 implement the driver stubs for oshkosh, ide driver and bmodfs? Where can I find them?
There's an oshkosh stub in 2.6 but for various reasons we cannot give out the corresponding server. But we're working on an alternative implementation which should be availabe in a not too distant future.
bmodfs is something different. bmodfs is an implementation of the file provider API and is used by programs to get files. E.g. the loader uses the fprov API to get the binaries it is supposed to start, or L4Linux gets its RAMdisk this way. It's read-only. So L4Linux is just using it, no driver (stub) involved.
We don't really have an IDE driver. Nevertheless there's a block stub in 2.6 which currently basically works only on UX as there's a block server which goes down to the host FS for storage. IMHO network support is far more important as one can do storage over network but not vice versa. For the rest we'll see.
