Hi Malte,
The number of caps that you can fit into the top-level cnode is
currently 32 (as the top-level cnode is 4kB and each cap 128 bytes).
I've written a small C program that simulates create_phys_cap for your
machine (see attachement) and without aligning both the beginning and
end of each of the small regions to a sufficiently large power of two
(the way the system currently tries to do things) you would need 127
capability slots.
Can you try the attached patch which should increase the number of
super cnode slots to 256 (it doesn't break things for me but I haven't
tested it rigorously).
