RE: newbie kernel booting problem
Hello,
hitting a key during gnumach boot will always end in a fatal
kernel trap. This is obviously a bug in the current versions.
Sorry, I have not yet investigated this problem, so I cannot
give more details.
Regards,
Stefan Weil

Subject: newbie kernel booting problem
this is my first experience with hurd.
I got ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/contrib/marcus/{gnu-19991025.tar.gz,
grub-floppy-19991023.gz}
when I tried to boot the kernel it started to recognize the hardware then
it found the Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller and it hangs.
If I remove the SCSI controller it boot normally but could not access the
root partition that is on a SCSI drive.
further more in both the situation if I hit a key during the kernel boot I
got a Kernel General Protection trap.
Here is a summary of the boot and trap log (all the information are
manually copied and so incomplete if you need to know more just ask):
