[Fwd: Think I found the problem - hurd booting]

[Ognyan Kulev]

It is always better to post to help-hurd (or debian-hurd if appropriate) 
because more brains will solve the problem better than one :-)

Specifically for this problem I try to dig the source and reach 
gnumach/kern/bootstrap.c:boot_script_task_resume which fail because 
task_resume gets invalid argument (NULL).  I couldn't find why and I 
cannot recall if someone else have experienced the same.

Please post your exact Grub entry too.

Ognyan Kulev,

time is 23:00 and I have found the problem.
Grub could not read ext2 filesystem on type 0x63.
I just reworked the partition and set it to 0x83,completed the rest of 
it and
was barely able to boot the hurd.
But the last message was:

     2 multiboot modules
     ded: /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec
     boot script task resume failed with 4

I tried another time and about the same message came up with an addition of:
     panic   mach failure
There were more messages,but I could not read them because every attempt to
touch a key caused the machine to reboot.It was hard to get hold of the 
last
messages,in other words.

It was marvellous to see the booting of the hurd starting.I just sat back
watching the miracle.The machine went through probing,finished the
partion-readings,but failed as you can see at the treshhold of task 
resume.I
tried to be very careful with the different parentetheses {} and () that
differed in the end.

Do you have a proposal for what to do now?
