+# User Success Reports
+
+These boards are known to work. Gnumach/Hurd has been installed and run on these board successfully.

+# User Failure Reports
+
+These boards or hardware combination are known to fail with gnumach/Hurd.
+
+* ASUS P5A motherboard and AMD K6-2 333MHz CPU - Debian GNU/Hurd will install but not boot on this board
+* ASUS P2B-LS motherboard with an Intel PII-MMX 400 MHz CPU - this board had a defective onboard NIC and working 3COM Etherlink III nic in a PCI bus slot. This combination worked with GNU/Linux. The 3COM NIC is know to work with the Hurd. However, while gnumach/Hurd will boot on this system, it is unable to ignore the defective onboard NIC and unable to use the 3COM NIC. Attempting to start networking generates continous streams of eth0 and eth1 reset messages on the console that render the system unusable.
