First of all thank you very much for your help; I was begining to think that I was alone in this crusade :) Apparently it's the opposite, as the links you gave me show that a lot of ppl are actively developing the Hurd. > Hi Frederico, > Check under the link that says hardware compatibility in the document > linked below. > > http://angg.twu.net/a/the_hurd_links.html Yes, I checked, everything seems to be alright... Arch : x86 (i686 Athlon 700 falls here) Bus : PCI Memory : 128 SDRAM Video Card : ATI Xpress 2000 (Ati Rage 128 in Xfree) Controller : IDE (here I have doubts since my IDE is on-board, but the disk is red by GRUB, gnumach loads and even identifys the IDE devices, so it must be ok) HD : Samsung SV1824D, 18 GB Floppy : standard Ethernet controller: not supported (SiS 900 10/100) Sound Card: SB128 (ess1371), not supported of course :) CDROM : ATAPI CD/RW : Philips CDRW400 (don't know if supported, prolly not) Mouse : serial 3-button Logitech USB : not supported (connects to a Mustek scanner, prolly not supported as well) Printer : HP DeskJet 840C I also remeber that I didn't gave the sparse_super option when making hda3 ext2... could this be it? > 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/ Well, I will try to recompile GNUMach, as it seems that some drivers can cause the crash... I hope I can do it :) It can also be because of IRQ sharing... but I really wouldn't know about that... and I need the box to work on, so ripping it apart piece by piece to found an offending hardware will have to be a last resort. > > > Have fun and welcome to the hurd > Jim Ehe, thank you, I will be having even more fun when the thing goes past boot ;) Frederico S.
