Pankaj! I can see how that might be impossible to interpolate. I'll list everything I can think of: -My system is Debian-GNU/Linux 2.2.17, woody -I am trying to use the many debs method -mke2fs -v 1.19 -fdisk v2.10o -GRUB 0.5.95 and 0.5.96 How my IDE drives look: ide 0: Master, Dedicated Harddrive housing Linux ide 0: Slave, CD-ROM ide 1: Master, CD-RW ide 1: Slave, Dedicated Harddrive for Hurd Removed everything from the device, fdisk, added one partition, +800M, I did -not- make it bootable(this last time) The partition type is 83. I do: > mke2fs -O sparse_super -o hurd /dev/hdd1 I already downloaded all the debian packages... I made the GRUB bootloader, well I have two different version, but 0.5.95 seemed to work beter. > dd if=grub-boot-0.5.95.image of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 I mount: > mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt I cross-install: > ./cross-install /mnt So I reboot. I figured out the disk/partition numbering and I am quite sure that I am trying to mount the correct device. GRUB comes up fine. I do: root=(hd1,0) // It seems that it just ignores CDrom // This returned no error, says it found the ex2fs kernel=/boot/gnumach.gz root=hd1s1 -s // This works too, said something about ELF code module=/boot/serverboot.gz // no error after this line, I'm excited. boot // The system reboots. Now I am at a loss..... But I am going to try to use the big tarball method right now. Sniff. -Jeremy PS: I am very sorry if I offended anyone with my previous email. My joke was too much. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos - 35mm Quality Prints, Now Get 15 Free! http://photos.yahoo.com/
