I decided to try booting from the single 1 Gig drive: (primary ide, master) Linux (primary ide, slave) NONE (secondary ide, master) CDROM (secondary ide, slave) Hurd
It still won't boot: hd1: [PTBL] [526/255/63] hd1s1 hd1s2 hd1s3 <hd1s5 hd1s6> hd1s4 hd2: hd2s1 com0: at atbus 0, port=3f8, spd=6, pic=4, (DOS COM1) com1: at atbus 1, port=2f8, spd=6, pic=3, (DOS COM2) (and it just hangs). So it doesn't look like the underlying problem is due to the logical drives. This is a relatively new motherboard I'm running on, with an AMD K6-2 400 processor. This isn't too different from my original system, but perhaps there are chipset issues that are confusing the Hurd at boot time. This is running on both the October Hurd snapshot and the latest 12/09 hurd build. -Brent
