-If you get the error `bad hypermeta data` when trying to mount an ext3
-partition from GNU/Linux, that is usually because the file system has not been
-unmounted cleanly (maybe GNU/Linux got suspended to disk) and the Hurd cannot
-mount it as ext2 without checking. Either boot back into GNU/Linux and unmount
-it or you can try to run `fsck.ext3` from GNU/Hurd directly.

-In some virtual machines (e.g. VirtualBox), "probing eata on XXX" may be
-quite long. This is apparently due to poor efficiency of the virtualizer, not
-Mach. There is no such issue on real hardware or using qemu/kvm.

-dev 02:00 is the floppy drive. This message simply means that reading the floppy
-was attempted, but no floppy disk was inserted, so it failed. It commonly
-happens during installer disk detection, or grub setup, and is completely
-harmless.

-If you see a `db>` prompt on the console, something unexpected and bad happened
-inside the [[GNU Mach kernel|microkernel/mach/gnumach]], which it cannot
-recover from. (Think of it as the equivalent of a [[!wikipedia
-Linux_kernel_oops]], for example.) The `db>` prompt is actually the GNU Mach
-kernel debugger waiting for your commands. For example, you can then reboot
-the system by issuing the `reboot` command, or if you want to help analyze the
-problem, start by typing in the `trace` command, which will display the
-function call trace leading to the crash:
-
- 0x8007cf1(8088488,5e,40000008,2aa008,0)
- 0x80071bc(0,0,0,0,0)
- 0x8006831(24fe00,2000,b,800,0)
-
-This can be decyphered by using:
-
- $ addr2line -i -f -e /boot/gnumach 0x8007cf1 0x80071bc 0x8006831
-
-You can then [[send us|contact_us]] the whole results of the `trace` and the
-`addr2line` commands, as well as
-the exact version of the GNU Mach kernel you were running, for further
-investigation. More information about the [[GNU Mach
-debugger|microkernel/mach/gnumach/debugging]] is available.

-Copying baseGNU to the virtual disk works. Even booting got through but when I
-try to run native-install it never gets to the very end. First time it froze on
-*sed* package, the other time on *sysv-rc*.
-
-> How much memory did you configure for the [[QEMU]] system? It may simply be
-> -- I've seen this myself -- that the system runs out of memory, as at the
-> native-install stage (I think at least) swap is not yet configured and
-> enabled. What I've been doing is: boot (with -s), MAKEDEV hdWHATEVER in
-> /dev/ for the swap device, run /hurd/mach-defpager, followed by swapon
-> /dev/hdWHATEVER. Does this help?
-
->> Thank You very much, more memory solved the freezing.
