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.
