Hello Hackers

booting l4linux stops with:

KDB: thread_schedule: param_word bits 16-19 must be 0. Fix your bindings!

My grub menu contains:

+-------------------------------------------------------------------[0]---+ | 0: kernel (hd0,2)/denny/Dresden/rmgr -sigma0 | | 1: modaddr 0x02000000 | | 2: module (hd0,2)/denny/Dresden/main -nokdb -nowait -comspeed 9600 -com| | 3: module (hd0,2)/denny/Dresden/sigma0 | | 4: module (hd0,2)/denny/Dresden/glinux root=/dev/hda3 | | 5: module (hd0,2)/denny/Dresden/hello

umm, pasting from the remote serial console.. line 2 ends in "-comport 1"

OK let's reboot the big system & paste the whole thing. BTW your hackked grub is now sitting in the mbr of (hd0) AND it WORKS ! 8-)

Apols I have not gone the netboot road, as "all"! my boxes are totally different there are too many risks for cross compiling, I compile for the OS and box where it loads from.

Host OS is SuSE8.2 with linux22 compiled under 2.95.3 and l4 + the rest under 3.2 (i.e. reverted), all compiles terminated OK, all libraries & dependencies found to the best of my ability.

The same error has stopped me for some 24 hours; I have been round the houses tidying up all I can find here so I await your advice with eagerness.

In the meantime, to get a bit nearer, I have the Debian system ready for a similar assault when I have my energy restored...
