Patches for the ppc port

Hi, I'm in the process of splitting my changes for the OSF Mach/PowerPC port into multiple patches (one per subdirectory of the Hurd source directory). I'm done with most of the Hurd libraries and a few other subdirectories; the patches, including ChangeLog entries for the finished patches, are o

Re: GNU/Hurd on PPC

Hi, A PowerPC port of the Hurd is in the works; in fact, I'm compiling a part of it as I write this 8-) . The bad news is, however, that a) there is no binary release yet (I'm planning to make a very small one soon), and the source code is not yet integrated into the main distribution, and b) the

Patches for the Hurd on OSF Mach/PowerPC

Hi, I've put a couple of patches for glibc and the Hurd on http://huizen.dds.nl/~pjbruin/hurd/, together with a small bit of explanation. Some of the patches (libc-powerpc.patch, dl-start.S, {ext2fs,libports,libshouldbeinlibc,libstore}.patch) are reasonably clean, while the rest is somewhat more

Status of the ppc port

Hi, I've started working on the PowerPC port again, and there's definitely been some progress. The Hurd boots to the multiuser login shell, and most servers seem to work (not storeio and pfinet, currently). ext2 file systems are now also writable. There are of course many bugs and deficiencies

Buffer freed too early in serverboot

Hi, In serverboot/bootstrap.c, the buffer allocated for the configuration file is freed after the file is parsed. However, the parsing code in boot/boot_script.c puts pointers to the buffer in the `cmds' variables, which are used during execution of the script. So either boot.c should make its o

PowerPC port

Hi, I've finally found the time to update my Hurd and create a patch for it to run on OSF Mach. See http://huizen.dds.nl/~pjbruin/hurd/hurd.patch. It still has many bugs, but it does work in some way (at least on my machine :-) ). Peter Bruin [EMAIL PROT

Where to put OSF Mach-specific things

Hi, Before I make patches, I'm first going to clean up my code a bit, because a lot of it consists of hacks. Would it be best to have the OSF Mach-specific things (e.g. a device_open function which uses the GNU Mach syntax and calls the Mach function using the OSF syntax)? Or should we just use:

Re: PowerPC port

Hi, I have ported the Hurd to OSF Mach (in fact, I haven't done anything with Mach, I just use the version that comes with MkLinux). You can indeed run the Hurd from within MkLinux, but it can't read from the console because Linux also has the console open; it might be possible to fix that. Maybe
