Anyways a simple patch works fine. snip Marcus you can add printk's to the autoprobe like this: snip Marcus Then you count the X and know in which autoprobe it Marcus hangs. Voila. Of course, you need to compile with all Marcus network cards. Thanks for the information I will try as you suggest and let you know. thanks, prabhu
A new install guide
hi, I installed Hurd using Matthew Vernon's easy guide. I would not have been able to install Hurd if not for the easy guide. I liked it and found the information readable and understandable. Neal, your new installation guide is also nice and mentions a few things that would be useful for a little advanced users. I think both of your guide's need to have links to http://angg.twu.net/a/the_hurd_links.html or to http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-hurd-0008/msg00229.html and also to http://hurddocs.sourceforge.net/ Thanks a lot for the effort in writing both guides. regards, prabhu "Neal" == Neal H Walfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Neal Hi All, I have developed a new install guide as the easy Neal guide has become quite out of date. This one was written in Neal the texinfo format so it is also a bit more portable. Neal I really want feedback, so do not be shy.

Anyway, it is (hd0,0), not hd(0,0). From the manual: The device syntax is like this: (BIOS-DEVICE[,PART-NUM][,BSD-SUBPART-LETTER])' For example, if you don't have hdb, but hdc, grubs name are still hd(1,x). Even "worse", if you have only SCSI, the first SCSI disk detected by the BIOS is STILL hd(0,x). In short, what GRUB sees is what the BIOS tells. I'd add /dev/fd0 as well but I don't remember what that looks like in Hurd or Grub off the top of my head. /dev/fd0 /dev/fd0 (fd0) But only if fd0 is really the first drive the BIOS returns. For example, if you have two floppies, and swap them in the bios, you have /dev/fd1 /dev/fd1 (fd0) (At least I think so, I didn't test it) The common problem with GRUB names is that people try to find a hard relation between hurd/linux names and grub names, where there is none. People should always think of BIOS/GRUB as something independant. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
