Hurd Boot Errors



Hi all, 

I am a new almost-user of the Hurd after a bit of a hiatus.
I am having a problem getting a machine booted.  It's a K6-233 96 MB RAM
10 GB almost clean ATA hard disk with an old Buslogic SCSI card for the
CD-ROM.  After compiling the CVS working copy of Hurd and using a
script of Marcus' for doing the cross-inst, I am still having troubles.
All seems ok when giving Grub root=(hd0,0); kernel=/boot/gnumach.gz
root=hd0s0 -s; module=/boot/serverboot.gz; boot.

The kernel begins to come up successfully with IDE & SCSI CD-ROM
recognized.  Then I get a few dozen identical messages:

../../../i386/linux/../../linux/dev/glue/kmem.c:434: __get_free_pages:
ran out of pages

The the ne2K-pci next comes up with eth0 OK.  Then I get the following:

Partition check (DOS partitions):
 hd0:../../../i386/linux/../../linux/dev/glue/kmem.c:434:
__get_free_pages: ran out of pages
 unable to read the parition table.
com0 [com0 config] 
com1 [com1 config]
Can't open server boot script [/dev/hd0s0/boot/servers.boot: In
appropriate file type or format
Server boot script? [/dev/hd0s0/boot/servers.boot]

Whatever I try from here it tells me that the "Root device 'hd0s0' does
not exist!"  I alternate between prompts for root device name and server
boot script.  I have a similar machine that does the same thing: AMD
K6-233, Adaptec SCSI, 64 MB RAM, 3GB ATA disk.

Any suggestions are appreciated.  

Regards,
