There is a list of known working hardware on the wiki:
http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/
which seems to be down at the moment, but check it out. I know others
have Orinoco cards working.
The most frequent reason GNU can't mount hard drives is that Mach does
not yet include a SATA driver. If your disk is a SATA disk, and your
BIOS has the option to enable ATA emulation, that might be the ticket.
If not, come see us on the irc channel or email us on the help-hurd
mailing list mentioned at:
