Hellllllp!! booting HURD
Hi!
I am only two days old to HURD and I tried installing HURD using
the tar archive file (the latest one Dated some gnu-200000..).
I have a 433MHZ Intel Celeron with I810 chipsets(Graphics and Audio) with
8 G.B. harddisk.
Harddisk contains one primary partition i.e c:(hda1) of 2 G.B.
Then the extended partition contains three logical partition of 1 1 and
4G.B.
The 4.G.B partition is again devided into the three partition's with
2.G.B for linux and 132 M.B. for swap and rest 900M.B. for HURD.
I created the hurd partition using mke2fs -o hurd /dev/hda9.
But I am having problem in booting.
following is the screen dump.
I used GRUB boot floppy to boot the system.
grub>root=(hd0,8)
**it tell's me about the ext2 partition
grub>kernel=/boot/gnumach.gz root=hd0s9 -s
**this also suceeds
grub>module=/boot/serverboot.gz
**now the system start's booting
**first problem comes here
--Floppy detection is successful
FDC 0 is a post -1991 82077
**System takes little long time here before it log's this onto the screen
Failed initialization of WD-7000 SCSI card
EATA0:address 0x1f0 is in use,skipping probe
**After a few more successful checks I see this error.
partition check (DOS partitions):
hd0:hd0s1 hd0s2<hd0s5 hd0s6 hd0s7 hd0s8 hd0s9>
com0:at bus o port=3fd spc=6 pic=4 (DOS COM1)
com1:at bus o port=2fd spc=6 pic=4 (DOS COM2)
hd0s2:bad access: block=28 count=2 blockend=30 nr_sects
end_request:I/O error ,dev 03:02,sector 28
: not found
:No such file or directory9/
**and after this it hangs!!
**here the message "No. such file or directory9/" seems to be coming for
the 9 of the /dev/hd0s9/boot/servers.boot path.I tried changing the
partitions such as I made hda8 i.e.(hd0s8) as the hurd partiotion and got
the error
:No such file or directory8/
I desperately want to install hurd as soon as possible so please help me
out of this problem so that I can sleep properly.
Thanks in advance
