Re: shared IRQs, boot fails

["Andreas B. Mundt" <andi.mundt@web.de>]

Hello,

thanks a lot for the ideas. I managed to boot mach now. (I compiled on G 
NU/Linux, but had to slightly edit the i386-gnu-gcc -script, which 
called a none-existent compiler(?), at least on my installation. 
Disabling varhine was sufficient to avoid the previous freeze).

Now I try to get my network running. (SiS900 :-( ). I compiled the 
oskit-mach on hurd, ('cause I read about someones experience that the 
ne2000- driver might be used for the SiS with oskit-mach), however, I 
can't boot it:->freeze. Further more, I cannot start the console:

console -d vga -c /dev/vcs  -->lock...


Isn't  the console necessary to start X?

So my next goals are the SiS900 network and X. Any ideas are higly 
appreciated (as I'm not a professional programmer and new to the Hurd...)

Thanks in advance

Andi
