Yet again I have to answer myself. I had an error in the IPC sending of Caps. However, the parent cap is only valid in Core, so it doesn't make sense to send it via Ipc, which would result in an invalid mapping anyways... Therefore I altered the assign_parent interface to use an unsigned long instead of a Genode::Capability. And: success! Init can now start children (which somehow get stuck during startuo when running the static constructors). However, during the start process, the capability describing Core's activation thread is sent around many many times, which results in literally tens of mappings in the Cap space. I don't know a good solution to this yet, but I wanted to inform you that there might be a problem. Greetings, Steffen -- Dipl.-Inf.
