Hi all,
I just installed the debian K6 hurd mini ISO by following the Debian GNU/Hurd installation guide. Installation was pretty smooth up to the point where I configure the network.
As per the guide, I typed
settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i eth0 -a <my-ip> -g <gateway> -m <netmask>
but this resulted in
"pfinet:../../pfinet/ethernet.c:249: setup_ethernet_device:
Assertion 'netstat.header_format=1' failed.
Settrans: /hurd/pfinet: Translator died"
My ethernet card has an Intel 21143 Fast ethernet (aka tulip) chip. I didn's see any message about this card being detected during boot (but the boot screen scrolls a bit too fast to be sure it wasn't there)
What can I do? Do I need to compile a new kernel? If so, can I compile from inside the Hurd environment or do you recommend a cross-compile? (I'm running Mandrake Linux 10.0 (and windows xp)) Should I get the source from gnu.org or do I need custom sources from debian, or should i get a CVS version?
Kind regards, Bertrik Sikken
