[Barrelfish-users] Limitation about file-system size or number of programs in menu.lst?

[Richard]

Hi Albert, 
      Can the default menu.lst works to boot, without any modification?
      I have met this looping before, when I used a wrong GCC version and could not even run the default munu.lst. 

      You can try the specific GCC version which wiki.barrelfish.org recommends.
      Hope this helps.
Regards,
Richard
