Hurd freezed on boot

["Sean McEligot" <seanm@despammed.com>]

I'm trying to install hurd following the instructions at:
http://web.walfield.org/papers/hurd-installation-guide/english/hurd-install-guide.html

When I boot to hurd it freezed right after:

start /hurd/ext2fs.static:

Here's my grub menu item:

title hurd (single user mode)
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/gnumach.gz -s root=hd0s6
module /hurd/ext2fs.static
--multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line} 
--host-priv-port=${host-port} --device-master-port=${device-port}
--exec-server-task=${exec-task} -T typed ${root} $(task-create)
$(task-resume)
module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create)
boot

Here's the output of fdisk -l /dev/hda: (hda6 is the hurd partition)

/dev/hda1   *         1       131   1052226    6  FAT16
/dev/hda2           262       510   2000092+  83  Linux
/dev/hda3           511       526    128520   82  Linux swap
/dev/hda4           132       261   1044225    5  Extended
/dev/hda5           132       139     64228+   6  FAT16
/dev/hda6           140       261    979933+  83  Linux

I got hurd from:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/contrib/marcus/gnu-latest.tar.gz

I installed with:
mke2fs -o hurd /dev/hda6
mount /dev/hda6 /gnu
cd /gnu
tar --same-owner -xvzpf ~/gnu-latest.tar.gz

I'm running debian linux (testing) on a IBM Thinkpad Laptop I Series 1400
2611

Thanks,

Sean
