Re: New oskit-mach debugging log - failed assertion 'port->ip_srights > 0'

Ok, that worked! I got the "-T typed" from here:

"The Hurd Installation Guide"

The typos are "-T typed" and ${root}

Here is my grub menu.lst:

If you see the apparent grub drive mismatch, remember I am
booting from SCSI to IDE so my Hurd's hd0 is grub's (hd3)

For non-debugging booting of oskit-mach,
this worked (I just edited grub's line):

title Debian GNU/Hurd (oskit-mach)
root (hd3,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-ide -- root=hd0s1
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 device ${root-device} $(task-create) $(task-resume)
module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create)


It booted up in multiuser mode just spiffy.

I now have the commands memorized to compile oskit and oskit-mach!

BTW: My lobotomized OSKit-tiny kernel doesn't work as I suspected,
but the new "full" OSKit kernel-ide does work.

Thanks a lot for all the help guys! Whew! ( A great weight is lifted )
Now onto the important stuff!

Yeah, see above. Maybe that web page should be fixed ASAP.
