Re: My Hurd is back online!
Ah, I see.
Well, I did not make any modifications or tweaks whatsoever
to oskit-mach. I grabbed it from CVS yesterday, and did this:
$ cd oskit-mach
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure
$ make
$ cp kernel /boot
Thats the extent of it.
Here is my hardware configuration FYI
Custom built system:
Tyan Thunder Pro 100 motherboard S1836SDLUAN-GX
chipset: Intel 440GX
builtin SCSI: Adaptec AHA3940-AUW (UW SCSI)
IDE chipset: PIIX4, only used for cdrom
Dual Pentium-II 450 CPU's
GeForce2MX in AGP slot
Seagate Elite 23Gb Hard Drives
Yamaha 8/4/24 SCSI-2 CDRW Drive
Cheapo 52X-Max CD-Rom drive on Primary IDE / Master
SB Live! Value on PCI
Maxx2 BT848A TV Board on PCI
192Mb RAM
Hurd is located on sd1s5
This thing makes a stupendous linux box, I don't even have Windows
at all, and can run most of my old `doze games using Wine anyways.
Linux reports like 1900 BogoMIPS in SMP mode.
Anyways, I'm happy to help utilize this nifty system to work on SMP
for Hurd by testing kernels, etc. Roland told me a long time ago that
I should use the serial debugger, but I just haven't gotten it together
yet, and I'm a mechanical engineer, not a "real" programmer... although
I started my engineering studies as a computer engineer, so I know C
and C++ pretty well, understand a smattering of X86 assembly, and I
just *love* to work with Python and Ada :-)
Anyways, I'm here to help in whatever way I can. Let me know what
I should do.
BTW: I actually installed and played with Debian on my 386 back in 1992!

No I'm talking about OSKit-Mach, not about OSKit. The OSKit debian
package should be fine (at least if you used a recent one,
i.e. 0.97.20010214-4). There are some bugs in the SMP code of
OSKit-Mach however.
While writing this mail I remember that it was somehow possible that
OSKit-Mach directly reboots after a panic. So it could be caused by
something else.
