Hello,

I've uploaded new iso images on
http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/installer/cdimage/
as well as pre-installed image on
http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/

They contain the fixed PCI bus scan for network boards, and keyboard
layout configuration.

I've just downloaded http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/installer/cdimage/current/debian-6.0-hurd-i386-DVD-1.iso and tried to install it under the GIT version of QEMU. I thought you'd like some feedback.

Here are the arguments I use:

qemu-img create hurd-20120715 4G -f qcow
qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=hurd-20120715,index=0,media=disk,cache=writeback,aio=native -drive file=/d/ISO/hurd-20120715.iso,index=1,media=cdrom -boot d -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user,hostname=qemu.bandsman.co.uk -machine accel=kvm,kernel_irqchip=on -cpu host -m 256 -redir tcp:2232::22

Update. I've turned irqchip off (even though the README said it's only needed for 2.6.3[78] hosts - I have 3.2.0, and changed to using ne2k_pci and now I'm further. The installer even configured DHCP for me!

Crossing fingers.

Here is the command I'm now using:

qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=hurd-20120715,index=0,media=disk,cache=writeback,aio=native -drive file=/d/ISO/hurd-20120715.iso,index=1,media=cdrom -boot d -net nic,model=ne2k_pci -net user,hostname=qemu.bandsman.co.uk -machine accel=kvm,kernel_irqchip=off -cpu host -m 256 -redir tcp:2232::22

False hope :-( The installer got to 80% of the Guided Partitions stage and hung again. Now I can't even reproduce that one success and the status is as I first reported.
