Hello all, I managed to compile gnumach from the sources(obtained from debian repositories with patch 7) and got rid of the booting problems.(It was hanging after detecting fd0). I am using the same /home partition as that used by GNU/Linux. I pulled the hurd sources from the cvs and tried compiling it. But the development tools like gcc, autoconf etc were missing. I downloaded gcc, m4, cpp, libc0.2 etc etc and instaled it. Now after a reboot from GNU/Linux, the machine just froze after printing the following lines [........] hd0s4:bad access:block=28, count=2 ...... end request:I/O error, dev 03:04, sector 28 [........]
Is there any need to cross compile libc0.2 also, just like gnumach? I am having an Athlon system, and I guess, the fd0 freeze were reported by other Athlon users as well. Is a recompile of libc0.2 is also needed? -- Ramakrishnan M
