Paul,

thanks for trying Fiasco and L4Linux!

No, I don't think so.

I take it that without `hello', L4Linux works correctly.  My guess
would be that hello has trouble running at the memory location you
linked it at.  Did you see `hello's output ("hello: My thread-id
is...") at least once?

Did you get `hello' to work without L4Linux?

Why did you relocate it to 0x2400000?  It should be able to run (even
concurrently with L4Linux) at the memory location it is linked to
using the distributed version of l4/server/hello/Makefile, 0x200000.

Thanks for the hint!
