Hi Frederico, Check under the link that says hardware compatibility in the document linked below.
http://angg.twu.net/a/the_hurd_links.html also Neil Walfield is running a test of his new install pages this weekend. You may want to go in that direction. http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd-0009/msg00140.html http://www.walfield.org/papers/hurd-installation-guide/hurd.html http://web.walfield.org/papers/hurd-installation-guide/ Have fun and welcome to the hurd Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frederico S.

I just subscribed to this mailing-list, I hope I'm asking the right question to the right ppl :) Hurd freezes while booting; I have an Athlon 700 (I can give more details if needed) and I made a new partit on with 950MB for the Hurd; I red the docs and sucessfuly installed Debian GNU/Hurd on hda3; I made a GRUB boot disk and changed the things from the menu as indicated; GRUB found what he wanted (gnumach and serverboot) and then began to load the Hurd; it detected my HD and CDR and then it freezes while detecting the floppy (something like 'fd0 is a post-1991...'). I don't know what to do; I think I have all the latter stuff, but I can't be sure because the information is very scatered (I've looked at Debian, alpha.gnu, personal pages, etc.)... I wonder if it has something to do with the MTTR, since potato also would'nt install and would freeze because of lack of support. I'm a non-programmer; all I know of computers is self-taught and out of interest... I'm actually taking History at the University, so all is said :); I have however used GNU/Linux since 1993, and Debian since slink... I can admin my box and have a small LAN and I pretty much can understand all the fundamentals (I do all the work I can while on GNU/Linux). This is just for you ppl know where I'm coming from... cryptic answers will prolly confuse me; I would like to know if I can help with non-tech work, like translations (my natural language is Portuguese) or testing or whatever; I'm a fast learner. I would really like to get the Hurd going.... so I will appreciate all the help you can give me. best regards, Frederico S.
