Hi all, I am a new almost-user of the Hurd after a bit of a hiatus. I am having a problem getting a machine booted. It's a K6-233 96 MB RAM 10 GB almost clean ATA hard disk with an old Buslogic SCSI card for the CD-ROM. After compiling the CVS working copy of Hurd and using a script of Marcus' for doing the cross-inst, I am still having troubles. All seems ok when giving Grub root=(hd0,0); kernel=/boot/gnumach.gz root=hd0s0 -s; module=/boot/serverboot.gz; boot.
The kernel begins to come up successfully with IDE & SCSI CD-ROM recognized. Then I get a few dozen identical messages: ../../../i386/linux/../../linux/dev/glue/kmem.c:434: __get_free_pages: ran out of pages The the ne2K-pci next comes up with eth0 OK. Then I get the following: Partition check (DOS partitions): hd0:../../../i386/linux/../../linux/dev/glue/kmem.c:434: __get_free_pages: ran out of pages unable to read the parition table. com0 [com0 config] com1 [com1 config] Can't open server boot script [/dev/hd0s0/boot/servers.boot: In appropriate file type or format Server boot script? [/dev/hd0s0/boot/servers.boot] Whatever I try from here it tells me that the "Root device 'hd0s0' does not exist!" I alternate between prompts for root device name and server boot script. I have a similar machine that does the same thing: AMD K6-233, Adaptec SCSI, 64 MB RAM, 3GB ATA disk. Any suggestions are appreciated.
