Hi, There is a port of the Hurd to the PPC running OSF Mach, which I have been working on for a while. A little info and some patches for the Hurd and glibc (from August) are on http://huizen.dds.nl/

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

As far as I know, only on a certain PowerMac 5500/225 ;-) It should work on any PPC which can boot the OSF Mach kernel, i.e. on which MkLinux runs (and maybe a couple more). You can find the kernel o

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,

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, curr

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

I have also looked at the mips code, so it could also be based on that (I don't have my code here, so I'm not sure). I haven't tried 'cat' yet, but C-c doesn't work as far as I have tried, so rpc_tra

I stole much of the signal code from sysdeps/mach/hurd/alpha (is there an Alpha port of the Hurd?). Actually, there is at least one bug in my powerpc code: in sigreturn, all the registers are restore

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

Most changes I had to make were either processor-related or had to do with the differences between GNUMach and OSF Mach (which already existed on the PowerPC, so that I didn't have to worry about get

Hi, The PowerPC port of the Hurd that I'm working on is now partially working; I've compiled bash, textutils and fileutils, most of which runs. Ext2fs runs in read-only mode, but often crashes in wri

The ext2 file system uses little-endian order, whereas htons etc. convert from native to network (big-endian) byte-order. So using htons would give you exactly the wrong result. (Actually, I didn't e

Actually, storeio does work, but only when linked statically (I still have to find out why). As Moritz said, it's not strictly necessary, though. I'll do that. Building Debian packages is a good ide
