Trying to get a basic installation working

[Mark Morgan Lloyd]

I spent a while yesterday trying to get an installation going on a 
fairly standard Intel P4 system, but was consistently getting a kernel 
panic shortly after selecting a mirror or, if I skipped that, shortly 
after Tasksel was run.

The CD image I was using was

$ cksum *iso
4089521537 678834176 cd-1.iso

$ sha1sum *iso
9239135037b664a08d355e2f7ece69bfa7576f07  cd-1.iso

If it would help I could possibly transcribe the panic from a 
photograph, but since the CD appeared to be reading at 1x this is 
frustratingly time-consuming.

Is there a more recent version of that I should be using, or should I be 
reverting to the somewhat older image described at 
https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/index.html ?

CC not necessary, I'm subscribed.
