How to run an application on l4linux

No, you only have to generate kernel modules if you want to load them 
into the L4Linux kernel. If you simply want to run a Linux user 
application on top of L4Linux all you have to do is to make this program 
binary available to L4Linux, for instance by putting it onto the 
ramdisk. (You can mount the ramdisk with the -o loop option as Matthias 
already indicated.)

Do you see any messages regarding L4bdds during bootup?
