Re: L4Linux LKM

Hi Karim,

Worked really fine Thank you!

I can use "open" to open the device. However I get a page fault whenever I
attempt to write to the device. The device works properly on my ubuntu
machine so I can't guess what can be the problem. Would really help if you
have any suggestions.

Thank you again
BR,
Nourhan
