And by natively you do not mean in an x86 emulator window on a host x86 machine, right?

Otherwisehere are some pointers:
  •  you should probably start by getting okl4-2.1.0 (the original I know still has x86, dunno about the patched versions), and tracking down the old okl4 start webpage / go through the email archives.

  • On the maling list, there was at least one guy called Jorge Torres who kept on having issues/emails related to the x86 platform, if it helps.
  • Another starting point might be this ? http://lists.okl4.org/pipermail/developer/2008-October/001834.html

  • Of course, once you have okl4 support, you could go ahead and get qemu for x86, go into the okl4 base folder then issue/try to build the linux example:
          tools/build.py machine=ia32_pc99 example=iguana wombat=True simulate

I unfortunately never worked on x86 with okl4, so I can't help you much more, but feel free to ask more questions.

Good luck,
Gabi Voiculescu

Gabi,

I'm more after some instructions on the steps that need to be taken in running L4 natively on ia32.

How come this is a problem?

I thought there was still support for x86 in okl4. Maybe not in 3.0 but in some of the previous releases include it.

As I currently think, the changes in okl4 3.0 mainly impact the generic pistachio code, not significantly the arch/plat specific.

Cheers,
