Double-check your grub boot parameters. There has been some confusing stuff floating around on the net, and incorrect boot params cause the exact symptoms you are describing. This is an example of how I boot my oskit-mach: # from menu.lst title Debian GNU/Hurd (oskit-mach) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/testkernel -- root=hd0s1module /hurd/ext2fs.static --multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line} --host-priv-port=${host-port} --device-master-port=${device-port} --exec-server-task=${exec-task} -T device ${root-device} $(task-create) $(task-resume)
module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create) - Doug Jeremy Bryant wrote:

All I have time to see is 'GNU Mach 1.90' and I cannot confirm whether it supports my driver.On Mon, Aug 05, 2002 at 09:11:39PM +0100, Jeremy Bryant wrote:Is it at all possible to try and patch up drivers this way? Should I just wait for OSKit Mach?While you're welcome to hack drivers into gnumach, I suspect that you won't see a new package for it. Can you try the oskit-mach at http://people.debian.org/~jbailey? If that supports your driver, then all you're waiting for is a usable console. If not, please let me know and I will add it.
