Hello all,
I managed to compile gnumach from the sources(obtained from debian
repositories with patch 7) and got rid of the booting problems.(It was hanging
after detecting fd0). I am using the same /home partition as that used by
GNU/Linux.
I pulled the hurd sources from the cvs and tried compiling it. But
the development tools like gcc, autoconf etc were missing. I downloaded gcc,
m4, cpp, libc0.2 etc etc and instaled it.
Now after a reboot from GNU/Linux, the machine just froze after
printing the following lines
[........]
hd0s4:bad access:block=28, count=2 ......
end request:I/O error, dev 03:04, sector 28
[........]
Is there any need to cross compile libc0.2 also, just like gnumach? I am having
an Athlon system, and I guess, the fd0 freeze were reported by other Athlon
users as well. Is a recompile of libc0.2 is also needed?
