Hi, just an hour ago i installed hurd for the first time using the
gnu-20001309.tar.gz and the grub image.
It worked very nicely, i didnt even have to specify "root=(hd1,0)",
"kernel=/boot/gnumach.gz root=hd1s1 -s" or "module=/boot/serverboot.gz"
as the documents saif i would have to.
All i did was tell it the root was hd1s1 and then i got the prompt,
where i ran ./native-install, reboot then ./native-install again.
Install was painless for me, for some reason i was expecting problems.
I probably should refrain from giving advice seems im a hurd newbie, but
it seems like you are getting stuck on your ide devices, have you tried
unplugging drives (and cdroms) that arent absolutly necessary ?
Also your hotrod card is really new, i would be very impressed it is
supported under the hurd, i would be trying to stick with older udma33
controllers if available.
