I tried new snapshot, 0.5.1, but I couldn't boot it. After L4-Linux bootstrap, it couldn't detect my NE2000-compatible card and it couldn't accept input from keyboard. The "login: " prompt appeared, but I could do nothing, because console and network didn't work. My CPU is AMD K6, but I don't think it is the source. My system is based on Slackware-3.5.0, and is it possible that it may influece L4-Linux?
Did this work before?
One thing which won't work is loading original Linux kernel modules into L4Linux. From Linux' perspective, L4Linux is a different architecture, and modules have to be recompiled for L4Linux.
Did you try loading the NE2000 driver as an original Linux kernel module? In this case, I recommend you compile the driver into your L4Linux kernel (or as an L4Linux module).

PS: Next week I'll be on vacation, and I won't answer my email. I'll try to catch up afterwards, so please keep sending in bug reports. They're appreciated a lot!

No.

No. I omitted the module support and everything were integrated into L4Linux. I'll try it again with a remote debugger.
