Hi all, A freshly installed hurd on a nice new 1.4GHz system is what I've now got and I must say that the installation, with boot floppies and all is sweet now (last time I did it you had to run cross-install.)
Unfortunately, the network card isn't recognised. It's a VIA Rhine chip in a D-Link card. I tried to compile a new gnumach with the appropriate driver; here is a sequence of commands that should get accross the trouble (/mnt/anx is the hurd / partition): /proj/gnumach-20011013-1$ MIG=i386-gnu-mig CC=i386-gnu-gcc ./configure --enable-floppy --enable-ide --enable-ne2000 --enable-via-rhine --enable-ne2kpci i386-pc-gnu --prefix=/mnt/anx loading cache ./config.cache checking host system type... i386-pc-gnu [ ... ] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/proj/gnumach-20011013-1$ grep VIA_RHINE i386/linux/device-drivers.h #define CONFIG_VIA_RHINE 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/proj/gnumach-20011013-1$ ls -l i386/linux/via-rhine.o -rw-r--r-- 1 node node 12272 Oct 17 14:05 i386/linux/via-rhine.o [ make install done ] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/proj/gnumach-20011013-1$ cat /mnt/anx/root/klog GNUmach 1.2 AT386 boot: physical memory from 0x0 to 0x1fff0000 GNUmach 1.2 AT386 boot: physical memory from 0x0 to 0x1fff0000 pcibios_init : BIOS32 Service Directory structure at 0x000fdb40 pcibios_init : BIOS32 Service Directory entry at 0xfdb50 pcibios_init : PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xfdb71 Probing PCI hardware. hd0: Maxtor 91531U3, 14655MB w/512kB Cache, CHS=1868/255/63 hd2: IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI, ATAPI FLOPPY - not supported by this kernel hd3: FX4830T, ATAPI CDROM drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077 Partition check (DOS partitions): hd0: hd0s1 hd0s2 hd0s3 hd0s4 < hd0s5 hd0s6 hd0s7 hd0s8 > com0: at atbus0, port = 3f8, spl = 6, pic = 4.
