I got a fresh oskit-mach out of CVS and compiled. First problem was mig needing i386-gnu-gcc, so a link in /bin now points that to gcc. This implies that the mig package was cross-compiled; is this the case? Shouldn't it not be?
It all compiled ok and I tried to boot the resultant kernel. The output from the kernel was staggered over lines, much as what happens when telnet goes dodgey. What it reported wasn't very encouraging either; problems with IRQ probes for IDE devices. After that, it just hung. Unfortunately I've no time to debug or fiddle with any of this (I lumbered myself with the task of rewriting the regex stuff in glibc as the 3rd year project for my degree :) Just by the by, I've now got a 1.4GHz Athlon, 512Mb ram system on a 512/128 Kbps cable connection. This is dying to be used to compile hurd packages but that area is black magic to me and, again, no time to study the art. If someone wants an account in order to take advantage of this, I'd be only too happy.
