I downloaded the hazelnut x86 binary suite from l4ka.org
I replaced lilo with grub on /dev/hda. Grub currently works fine for booting debian 2.2r3. I don't have a seperate /boot partition. My debian root partition in /dev/hda2.
When I boot l4ka-i586-dbg-vga (same problem happens with l4ka-i686-rel-vga) I get a kernel panic. The message is: startup.c:592: assertion failed (mbi->flags & MULTIBOOT_MODS)
When I hit "k" to enter the kernel debugger, my machine simply restarts and POSTs again, followed by my GRUB boot menu.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions? I have 288 MB of RAM and a Pentium II 266 MHz CPU on a Dell Dimension XPS motherboard. All of the l4 microkernel stuff is in /boot/l4/. I copied various kernel versions over x86-kernel to see if it was a kernel version problem. rmgrlinux.cfg and glinux are identical to the files in the hazelnut x86 binaries tarball from l4Ka.org.
Thanks, Karl
P.S. for some reason, my menu options show empty strings in the grub boot menu. Anyone run into this, either?
my grub menu.lst file reads as follows: ####### timeout = 10 default = 0
title=debian root = (hd0,1) kernel = /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2
title=L4Linux root = (hd0,1) kernel = (hd0,1)/boot/l4/rmgr -configfile -sigma0 modaddr = 0x03000000 module = (hd0,1)/boot/l4/x86-kernel module = (hd0,1)/boot/l4/sigma0 module = (hd0,1)/boot/l4/rmgrlinux.cfg module = (hd0,1)/boot/l4/glinux root=/dev/hda2 no-scroll #######
