Has anyone been successful in booting GNU Hurd from a Debian Lenny virtual machine hosted on (VirtualBox 3.1) Debian Lenny? I have the system starting from a Grub boot menu (in the guest) but it crashes shortly after starting - just after it initializes the network adapter (PCnet-Fast III). To my understanding the Debian Linux virtual machine is not bootstrapping the start of the GNU/Mach kernel as Grub looks to the partition the Hurd has been installed to, finds the GNU/Mach kernel and starts. I just used the Lenny guest to set up the filesystem and get the Hurd (L1) packages untarred to the appropriate partition in that virtual machine. I've checked the syntax of the Grub menu.lst and I do not appear to have any typos, but I don't fully understand Grub commands for booting the GNU/Mach kernel yet. It chokes with a message about 'can't find a debugger' but I think that is a Hurd/Mach thing that I haven't worked out yet either. After any answers here, I will post to a Hurd mailing list.

Thank You,

Michael
