Re: Hurd F1 ISO and booting
Well, I finally got Hurd running, even it's not much useful yet. It sure
seemed to be the EATA-driver stuff that probably locked me machine
down. As somebody else at my place here want's to take a look on
Hurd, we installed last night on his old machine, which is a terrible slow
machine. But we compiled a new GNUMach-kernel. The question is, if
I got the latest version. We just have found a gnumach-1.2.orig.tar.gz and
applied a gnumach_1.2-9.diff.gz on it, but I thought, I've seen a
1.2.5-vesrion
somewhere laying around, but I don't remember where? I looked already
on different ftp's like ftp://alpha.gnu.org and ftp://ftp.fsn.hu ...
Anyway, I did go all the way through the installation as Marcus wrote in
the freeX 4/2001, but I got stuck mounting the my cdrom('s) with the
settrans. Since I have just 2 SCSI-CD-Drives, I was wondering, why
they are not mountable. Before mounting, I did that:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV cd0 cd1 <- hope that are the right ones?
Then I tried to mount with
settrans -a /cdrom /hurd/isofs /dev/cdx <- where x= 0 or 1
But I get an error telling something about a (SONY/PHILLIPS) :0xffffff2
alike.
(Probably should have logged that,*sorry*)...
Now after going through the HW Compat List is states:
> All SCSI CD-ROM drives with a block size of 514 or 2048 should be
> supported if the controller is supported.
> Almost all EIDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drives are supported.
> No proprietary CD-ROM drives are supported at this time.
> No CD-R (recordable CD) devices are supported at this time.
I configured the kernel with a:
./configure --enable-lpr --enable-floppy \
--enable-ide --enable-am53c974 \
--enable-ne2kpci
So either I missed some driver to enable, or I did maybe the wrong MAKEDEV?
Since the kernel boots that fast, the messages are gone before I catch up.
Is there some kind of kernel-message logging at boottime like dmesg under
Linux?
