Please translate these addresses into source locations in your kernel
build.  The oskit's sym-trace script is handy for this.

Done, see above.

None of this is immediately relevant to problems oskit-mach if you can boot
other oskit kernels that use your devices.  You've tried that, right?

Yes. They boot just fine, although the SMP kernel produces a string of
garbled
text right before shutting down.

You have to use --enable-cpus=2 (or a higher number) to compile in any SMP
support.  You would have noticed because there are #warning messages in the
oskit-mach code when compiled for SMP (because the support isn't finished).
So that is not your problem here.

No, I didn't do that because you said you were still working on it.

An unrelated issue, I got my cable modem working with Hurd by following the
examples in the settrans faq.

Note: there is a typo in the FAQ. It says to use socket/2 but the example
uses socket/1. It had more socket/1's than 2's in the faq and I killed socket/1
which wiped out my auth server. I managed to fix it up but it was aggravating.
Ether works ok, but DSELECT seems to barf after downloading about 4Mb,
I just hit CTRL-C and restarted [I]nstall ( many times ) until I was done. I was
using the apt method for dselect.

Still haven't gotten X to start. I think I need to start a translator of some kind but
haven't investigated the situation yet.

Otherwise things look good.
