Re: Minimal requirements to run L4linux using only a serial console

Hi Masti,

I just applied your config, replaced "drops-rd.rd" by "ramdisk-x86.rd" and everything (command prompt, debugger) runs fine as 
expected in Qemu. Maybe you ran into a similar problem as described in this thread:

Best regards,

I can get all the way to the command prompt (of the shell) in the initramfs but then, on pressing a key, I get a page fault and I cannot debug the system anymore using the serial_esc. I suspect it is my configuration which I have provided below. I was wondering what the minimal packages are to achieve this.
