What kind of hardware is supported? - -{NHW} Currently, the GNU Hurd only runs on IA32 machines, however, -porting to other architectures should not be difficult: the code has -always been written with portability in mind. - -With respect to drivers, GNU Mach uses a subset of the drivers from the -Linux 2.0.x kernel. A relatively complete hardware compatibility guide -can be found at: - - http://www.nongnu.org/thug/gnumach_hardware.html - -If you run into trouble, it is most likely that: - -- You are using IRQ sharing; GNU Mach does not support this in the - least. -- A device driver is frobbing the hardware and accidentally activating - the wrong device. - -In the former case, you should start removing devices or play with the -BIOS. As for the latter, GNU Mach does not support loadable kernel -modules. Therefore, you will have to compile a new kernel and only -activate those device drivers that you actually need. - ?? What partition type should I use for my GNU/Hurd partitions? {MB} You should use an ext2 filesystem. Alternatively, you may use BSD |
