Hello everybody!
I've problems booting hurd, may be someone could help me here's the problem: when I boot from the grub floppy and get the prompt the following happens: -------------------------------------------------------------------- GRUB version 0.4 (639K lower / 97280K upper memory) [ Minimal BASH-like ...... bla bla bla ...................................... .............................blah. ] command> root=(hd1,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs command> kernel=/boot/gnumach root=/dev/hd3s1 Attempt to acces block outside partition command> -------------------------------------------------------------------- The partition i try to install hurd to is /dev/hdd1 under linux. I install from debian packages (got from ftp.fr.debian.org) here I'd like to say that i experience strange behavior during cross-install: when it tries to install the dpkg.deb packages, dpkg-deb dies with a sigpipe. i can't reproduce this in a deterministic way, some time it happen (rather often) some time it doesn't, my proc is a PII 233MHZ running @ 233MHZ, fairly stable under linux (i don't remember a single kill 11 of gcc) the disk geometry is 527/255/63 (both in bois and under linux forced with append 'hdd=527,255,63') and, yes, it was mkfs'ed with '-o hurd' may be this is more a linux than hurd issue: when I dist-upgraded i was unable to mount disks i've mke2fs'ed after the upgrade under 2.0.36, but with 2.2.10 this works fine. I'll probabely try to downgrade my mkfs in a near future, but don't know how do this cleanly under debian. Thanks for any help. Regards, Mickey. PS: few days ago i was talking about 19990505 was corrupted to me, sorry about that, i've downloaded it agan and it's ok now.
