Re: hangs with (hd0,2)/hurd/ext2fs.static

[Shakthi Kannan]

Hi,

Thanks for your replies Ognyan Kulev, Marco Gerards
and Alfred M. Szmidt. I forgot to give my hardware
details:
Intel Celeron (Mendacino), 500 MHz, 128 MB RAM.

Perhaps your emailclient did this, but it should be
one line:

module (hd0,2)/hurd/ext2fs.static 
--multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line}
--host-priv-port=${host-port} 
--device-master-port=${device-port}
--exec-server-task=${exec-task} -T typed
</quote>

Actually, I am typing everything in one line in the
grub prompt. I hit an enter while posting in the
mailing list for readability.

I have to specify "module (hd0,2)/hurd/ext2fs.static
for the command to succeed, else, I get this error:

Error 15: file not found

These are the steps I follow on grub boot prompt:

kernel (hd0,2)/boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd1s3 -s

module (hd0,2)/hurd/ext2fs.static
--multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line}
--host-priv-port=${host-port}
--device-master-port=${device-port}
--exec-server-task=${exec-task} -T typed ${root}        
$(task-create) $(task-resume)

module (hd0,2)/lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec
$(exec-task=task-create)

boot

Apart from these errors:
hd0: drive not ready for command
ide0: reset timed-out, status=0xff
hd0: status timeout: status=0xff { Busy}

I notice this:
hd0: non-IDE device: CHS28894/15/63
But, mine is a Samsung 40 GB IDE HDD.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

K Shakthi
