The critical bit is booting after installation. +The present Debian GNU/Hurd installer itself runs on Hurd, so failure on the installer may mean that the hardware is uncompatible with Hurd. * ASUS P5A motherboard and AMD K6-2 333MHz CPU - doesn't boot * ASUS P2B-LS motherboard with an Intel PII-MMX 400 MHz CPU - this board had a defective onboard NIC (that could not be disable in BIOS) and working 3COM Etherlink III NIC in a PCI bus slot. This combination worked with GNU/Linux. The 3COM NIC is known to work with the Hurd. However, while gnumach/Hurd will boot on this system, it is confused by the defective onboard NIC and unable to use the 3COM NIC. Attempting to start networking generates a continous stream of eth0 and eth1 reset messages on the console that renders the system unusable. |
