ok... i think this is my last email today for this to work... :) I can now boot L4Linux with the drops RAMdisk and everything goes all right in VMware and in real hardware. But now i have a few more questions:
1. I'm trying to boot the Fedora Core 1 that i have in my disk with L4Linux kernel but i haven't found a way yet. Like we say here in portugal, i've been trying to "hammer" a solution, but didn't worked out. my grub.conf looks like this:
title Fiasco + L4Linux root (hd0,0) kernel /fiasco/rmgr -sigma0 task modname "vmlinuz" module modaddr 0x02000000 module /fiasco/main -nokdb -nowait -serial_esc -comspeed 115200 -comport 1 module /fiasco/sigma0 module /fiasco/vmlinuz no-scroll no-hlt l4irqack=linux root=/dev/hda5 module /fiasco/2.2.27.img <===== i'm doing this beacause i can't use initrd
is this the right way to do it? Im i missing something? he says that can't find a init and even when sometimes he loads the img, it crashes while loading it from disk. /dev/hda5 is my / partition.
2. Is it mandatory in L4Env boot to have the tftp server? can't i boot it from disk?
Ok... i'm beeing very annoying for today, but i'll write a tutorial in the end :)))
Thaks in advance

If you don't want to use an initrd, remove the "module" statement from the RMGR line. (For further issues please include the error messages as well, it's easier for us to figures out what's going on.)

What's the 2.2.27.img file? The file name doesn't sound likes it's a rd.

The loader program needs a file provider to get the files from. This is usually the tftp server. There's another implementation of this service in l4/pkg/generic_fprov/examples/bmodfs. That's a file provider, which can be given modules via GRUB so that it does not depend on a working network.
