Hello, This evening I have tried to install GNU/Hurd on a test box I managed to assemble from spare hardware. Primary Master is a 800Mb hard drive, with Debian 2.2 installed. Primary Slave is a CDROM Secondary Master is a 170Mb, to be used for Hurd. There is no floppy. I will install another small disk (150) for the Hurd later. I have a weird problem trying to install Grub in that machine. Hurd has worked for me in every other box, but no in this one, and I can't see why. /dev/hda1 is Swap, /dev/hda2 is ext2 with Linux and /dev/hdc1 is ext2 with Hurd. Lilo is installed in /dev/hda, without problems. Trying to install grub 0.5.95 into the mbr, I get this: grub> root (hd0,1) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 grub> setup (hd0) Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)" Error: Invalid device requested If I try setup (hd0,1) it works, but at boot time I get MBR, not grub. Anyone has a clue? I want to boot gnumach to see if I got my compile right but I can't :| Attached to this mail is my menu.lst and device.map. If you need more info about the system or whatever, please say so.
