About one year ago i tried getting oklinux to run on x86.

For x86 you probably need an 2.* release. I know that 3.* + oklinux
does not work on x86 anymore. However i am not sure whether this is a
microkernel or a oklinux issue. So you might get the recent kernel
together with some applications to work on x86.

Have a look at this lists archives, they contain solutions to the most
common problems.
i.e.

If you get it to run on real x86 hardware, please let me know.

According to your requirements microkernel + paravirt. Linux on arm and
x86 you might also want to give Fiasco and L4Linux a try.
