Re: new document
I tried to fix the problems you identified.
Some minor issues are corrected, but to be
sincere, I wasn't able to find out, how to
- build bootable gnummach-2.x
- build bootable Hurd
----------------------------------------------
I tried to build gnumach-2.x on `J1' as I described here:
http://www.freesoftware.fsf.org/hbg/hbg.html#Building%20GNUmach-2.x
Building succeeded - installation succeeded - but when
I tried to boot it, I have got the following
message:
Root device name? [hd0s5]
Server boot script? [/dev/hd0s5/boot/servers.boot]
(I used your hint `make kernel-ide' when building the kernel,
so I think that the driver should be compiled into the kernel,
however the installed kernel behaves as the driver misses)
----------------------------------------------
When I tried to compile The Hurd (hurd-20020804) on J1
as I describe here:
http://www.freesoftware.fsf.org/hbg/hbg.html#Building%20The%20Hurd
There was no problem with compiling it, however when
I reboot, it somehow can't be booted. The last message
I saw was the notice that `exec' server is beeing started,
but it probably failed and no other server was started
----------------------------------------------
If there is somebody who does not have these problems and
would like to help me, please let me know
- what Hurd you are using (i.e. if you use `J1', or the Markus' tarball,
or something else)
- how should I change the instructions
