Try to apply patches from Christian Helmuth which related to issue #593 thread. This must partialy solve this issue. But sometimes I have the same messages too.

Hi Ivan,
Thank you.I read the mails at the website https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/593 ,and I find that there is not a clear way to solve my issue.
I notice that you have tested the network performance of l4linux on real hardware.The Ethernet card in your test is intel 82579LM.
Do you know the details about how to sovle my issue ? Or I should change my Ethernet card to another one ,such as intel 82540EM or 82579LM？
Best.
Yuqing Wang.

Hi,
I want to run l4linux on real hardware to do some research about its network.I use l4linux.run script to create the files which I would copy to my hard disk.I also modified the menu.lst file in my PC according to the menu.lst in l4linux.iso file created by run script.
The motherboard of my PC is DELL OptiPlex 330,CPU is Intel Pentium dual e2180 @ 2.00GHz . It has a broadcom BCM5787 Enthernet Card on board and I use  another intel 82541PI Ethernet Card.Because qemu use the intel 82540 series Ethernet card as default,so I think intel 82541 is supported.
When I tried to boot l4linux from hard disk ,there is something wrong with nic_drv:

[init -> nic_drv] memory allocation failed in alloc_memblock (size=2048, align=800, offset=0)
[init -> nic_drv] memory allocation failed in alloc_memblock (size=2048, align=800, offset=0)

the whole log file is attached.
I find the source file which would print the error message.It is 'genode/dde_ipxe/src/lib/dde_ipxe/dde_support.cc', 'dde_alloc_memblock' function.But I don't know how to debug it.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards.

Hi Jian,

I recommend you to make bootable USB flash or setup network boot.
For booting you can use Grub or Grub2, but genode's vesa driver can't use some modern video adapters, and it can be solved with using patched version of Grub from Adam Lackorzynski http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/~adam/grub/
Step-by-step guide with grub 1.xx bootloader:
1. Create bootable USB-flash with grub 1.xx
2. Copy directories fiasco and genode from your BUILD_DIR/var/run/BUILD_NAME to usb disk, example for demo run script : cd BUILD_DIR; cp -R var/run/demo/fiasco /mnt/usb; cp -R var/run/demo/genode /mnt/usb
3. Copy grub config from BUILD_DIR/var/run/BUILD_NAME/boot/grub/menu.lst to usb disk, example: cp var/run/demo/boot/grub/menu.lst /mnt/usb/boot/grub/menu.lst
4. Boot from usb flash on PC

If you would like to use Grub2 you need rewrite Grub menu.lst in Grub2 format.

Genode supports most of modern hardware, and you don't need usually to special config for drivers.

Hi Norman,

   With your help, I have now some experiences on Genode, such as
building and demo it in Qemu. I have also learned about the whole
structure of source code and some calling relastionship in the system.
Now I try to install Genode in my PC (the physical machine) and boot
it from hard drivers. So I can see avaliablity and response time from
applications such as Arora, which is really some slow in Qemu. But I
don't know to do it. Could you give me some directions? Thanks.

   I have found some guy sent similar question in the mail list last year as,

   http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=4FB142EF.2080407%40genode-labs.com&forum_name=genode-main

   But there is no detail explainations and steps how to do it. I
wonder if there is any document on how to install Genode in a PC.
Which hardwares does it support now? and how to config drivers code
for network card, usb etc?

     Best,

     Jian
