Hello, I have looked through all the documentation I could find and the source code but I don't understand why I am getting an error when trying to boot a new Hurd system. Any suggestions are most appreciated. I have mke2fs -O sparse_super -o hurd /dev/hda2 with mke2fs version 1.18 under GNU Debian Linux 2.2. Hardware is hda: ST36531A, 6204MB w/128kB Cache, CHS=840/240/63, AMD K6-II cpu, PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39. I don't know if it will do any good, but I have also ordered a BIOS update, but it seems to see the partition just fine, Award 4.51pg circa 10/1997. I have also dd if=grub-0.5.96.1-i386-pc.ext2fs of=/dev/fd0 bs=512. On boot to the floppy, I get the following results from GRUB: root=(hd0,1) Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x83 kernel=/boot/gnumach.gz root=hd0s2 -s Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition I don't know if it will do any good, but I have also ordered a BIOS update, but it seems to see the partition just fine. -- -- Grant Bowman [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SuSE +1-510-628-3380 x5027 -- 580 Second Street, Suite 210 fax +1-510-628-3381 -- Oakland, CA 94607 http://www.suse.com _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
