Re: OSKit Entropy Patch
Derek, Please update http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Hurd/RandomDevice if you feel comfortable with a wiki interface. I'm biased, but it's a great place to keep folks updated on progress and to collect relevant references. I know there's been some lengthy discussion of this issue recently but I haven't been able to follow up and read all the relevant items on the mail lists.

Don't know if this is known, but it looks like GNU Mach doesn't grok multiple modifier keys (did it ever grok them?). For example C-M-v doesn't work in Emacs. I haven't looked into this in any detail at all, so if someone feels bored, plesae do. ;-) ___ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
Hurd doesn't boot with 1024 Mb RAM
Hi James, First, many thanks for your help. The problem was the ammount of memory, but uppermem doesn't work !!! I've tried: uppermem=131072 root (hd1,1) kernel . And it causes a kernel panic !!! Pulling out a ram stick, GNU/Hurd boots OK !!! I've tried the grubs uppermem parameter with an L4/Fiasco kernel, and grub works fine (is documented L4/Fiasco that doesn't boot with more than 256 Mb) Maybe a mach/hurd BUG ?? --- Gerardo Pirla Diaz --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I was reading somewhere that there is 700 and something MB limit on the ram. If the box with 1 GB of ram can't boot with the old grub syntax than maybe pulling out a stick of ram might work. I'm not sure if that Ram issue was resolved tho. Thanks Matt G. There is no reason to physically remove ram from a machine. GRUB has an option, uppermem, that limits the amount of RAM the os booting from GRUB sees. = James Morrison University of Waterloo Computer Science - Digital Hardware 2B http://hurd.dyndns.org Anyone referring to this as 'Open Source' shall be eaten by a GNU ___ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd

This is a known limit. From [1] I found a reference to this [2] URL.
