Thanks for reporting this. Since L4/Intel never used the value of 'external preempter' we (at least I) have not seen this 'error'.
L4 or L4Linux does not use external preempters?
Also the null-pointer test gives an error message.
Could you provide some more details? If everything works correctly you should see a complained from the root pager (something like 'Hmm, strange, that shouldn't happen anymore' on a hercules monitor) and a message from the linux server 'mem_init: null pointer dereference detection seems to work'.
That is that what i see: Hmm, strange, ...It seems that i was misunderstanding this.
If you see 'mem_init: null pointer check failed' then something is wrong and the zero page was not flushed correctly. That's something Michael should be interested in.

The function rs_init() hangs during boot (the boot stops for ever). Or a function after this part of initialization. The last what i see is: tty0* ... is a 16550A.
If i disable the serial interface the boot goes on up to VFS mount and stops than. I will give you more informations later.
