Re: Hurd doesn't boot with 1024 Mb RAM
Hi Date: Sat, 04 Jan 2003 01:41:44 +0100 From: Gerardo Pirla Diaz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Accept-Language: en-us, en 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 !!! A little output here would be nice. I'm not sure how grub treats the '=' sign, but the documentation seems to suggest it should be "uppermem 131072". With grub-0.92 works "uppermem=131072" and "uppermem 131072" fine... With a previous grub's version, "uppermem 131072" doesn't work 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) Please ask on [EMAIL PROTECTED] for information on L4 and Fiasco. I've not found problems booting L4/Fiasco using "uppermem=131072) on grub. Boots OK. Maybe a mach/hurd BUG ?? There are many bugs in GNU Mach and in the Hurd, but we don't have enough information so far to tell. Anyone could tell me how to capture the "dmesg" if I couldn't boot the kernel ? After a few seconds of static "kernel page ..." the kernel reboots my system. --- Gerardo Pirla Diaz James A.

This is not a GNU Mach problem, it is a pc-kbd problem. Since I wasn't even using console-client, it is impossible that it is a problem in pc-kbd. Unless that the bug is in the bits copied from Mach. Which would of course mean that it is a problem in Mach after all. You can use ESC-C-v as well (but I assume you already know this).

simple path search for vga fonts
Hi,
After discovering I could recover my vga console by specifying a font,
I decided I wanted a system font directory, so I made one. Here is the
patch.

rpc trace and standard msg lists
Hi,
Sometime last term I got sick of using -I msg.lists, so I made a simple
change so that rpctrace would read the msgids from a standard place.
Two problems came up with this:
Where should these msgids files be install? I think /share/hurd would
be the best place for them.
How do get the GNU Mach file to generate mach.msgids? I think adding
%.msgids: $(srcdir)/include/%.defs
if grep -q '^subsystem' $<; \
then $(CPP) $(CPPFLAGS) $< | $(MIGCOM) -n -list $@; \
else > $@; fi
mach.msgids: $(patsubst %.defs,%.msgids,$(filter %.defs, $(installed-headers)))
cat $^ > $@
to Makefile.in would work, but I keep getting
make: *** No rule to make target `device/device.msgids', needed by `mach.msgids'
. Stop.

Quite right, but my answer makes them obsolete. If you are on the lookout for answers to obsolete questions, you surely can look into the font files and answer it yourself.

Even though it is useful to be able to read and use X fonts, in pcf/pcx format, I think having a /share/hurd/fonts directory for bdf fonts would be really useful. = James Morrison University of Waterloo Computer Science - Digital Hardware 2B co-op http://hurd.dyndns.org Anyone referring to this as 'Open Source' shall be eaten by a GNU __ Do you Yahoo!?

You can boot using a serial console or you could try using the kernel in the gnumach-dbg package, I think it stops on boot failures as opposed to rebooting. = James Morrison University of Waterloo Computer Science - Digital Hardware 2B co-op http://hurd.dyndns.org Anyone referring to this as 'Open Source' shall be eaten by a GNU __ Do you Yahoo!?
