I just tried installing on my Redhat 5.2 system, and I am
having troubles...
While trying to use the cross-install script, I got the
following error:
dpkg-hurd: [ too many arguments
or something similar - this was previously mentioned on the
mailing list a week or two ago. I have dpkg installed and it
appears to work fine.
So, I went to use the tarball - gnu-19990505.tar.gz, which
installed fine on my new Hurd partition. I did use
mke2fs -o hurd /dev/hda3 to make the partition.
When booting, I got the following error:
Partition check:
hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4 < hda5 hda6 >
hdd: PTBL [621/64/63] hdd1
hda4: bad access: block=28, count=2
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:04, sector 28
(serverboot): Running without any paging
/hurd/ext2fs.static: cannot vm_map whole disk: (os/kern)
no space available
The computer is an AMD K6 200 MHz with 128 meg of RAM. The
first disk (hda) is 6.8 gig, with the following partition
scheme:
hda1: ext2fs, my main linux / partition, about 100 meg
hda2: fat32, win95 boot partition, about 200 meg
hda3: ext2fs, now the hurd, about 2.5 gig (has in the
past contained Solaris and FreeBSD with no prob.)
hda4: extended
hda5: 128 meg swap
hda6: ext2fs, the rest of my redhat installation filling
the rest of the disk
hdc: CD-ROM
hdd1: 1.2 gig, all windoze.
All of the other hardware was detected successfully.
I tried playing with the swap settings in /boot/servers.boot,
but with no success. Any ideas? I'm looking forward to getting
this working!
Thank you,
Brian Gregor
