I haven't been looking around at things very long, but I was noticing, while Fiasco largely supports AMD64 processors in 64-bit mode, L4Linux appears to specifically avoid it. I couldn't find any references for this, will it ever be supported? It's something I was excited about/meaning to try, but as my system is setup with 64-bit binaries in mind, it looks like the only way to test it would be for L4Linux to support that.
'avoid' is definitely the wrong term here. It just hasn't been ported. That's it, simply spoken. I don't know if this will ever happen but it's definitely not on my priority list right now.
To test L4Linux you can start with a RAMdisk so you don't need your installed Linux system. Later, if you want to run off your disk, you'd need a 32-bit Linux system. I guess you have a 32-bit chroot already? So this shouldn't be too difficult.
