# <a name="Introduction"> Introduction </a>
This page is a simple project page for me. I use it to keep track of things concerning the Hurd. If you wish to comment on my lack of progress/life the do so in [[TWiki/GoodStyle]], preferable at the bottom of this topic.
# <a name="Current_Project"> Current Project </a>
I am currently working on updating the OSKit's Linux drivers from Linux 2.2.12 to 2.2.21 plus the ATA-100 patches for Linux 2.2.19. This because my Promise ATA-100 controller at home prevents me from running the Hurd on my SMP machine. (Even though I now have rigged another machine for my testing efforts ...)
## <a name="Project_plan_Update_OSKit_Linux_"> </a> Project plan: Update OSKit Linux drivers
I have forked. I will now work on two paths:
1. Patch ALL drivers, patch by patch, from 2.2.12 to 2.2.13 etc.
2. Continue my work on patching only the IDE stuff.
Yesterday I patched the Linux drivers (all of them) from 2.2.12 to 2.2.13, I found a **stable** oskit-mach (before the Roland messup with the GDT's) sitting in an old directory - dated June 2002. (Don't get me started on stable tags on the CVS and the likes!)
After having built both of them I finally, after almost six months of no results, managed to successfully boot the oskit-linux-2.2.13-mach-binary and start the Hurd!
* Diff file [patch-oskit-linux-2.2.13.diff.gz](http://vmlinux.org/joachim/hurd/patch-oskit-linux-2.2.13.diff.gz)
This month (I'm getting more moderate in my time plan) I will **try** to continue patching towards Linux 2.2.21. As I progress I will update this page.
## <a name="Old_Project_plan"> Old Project plan </a>
1. Start off with OSKit, St. Patrick's Day release.
2. Upgrade the Linux IDE drivers to Linux 2.2.19, and 2.2.21
3. Test against HEAD branch of gnumach (oskit-mach)
4. Import the ATA-100 patch.
5. Test again.
6. Release fat patch.
I will do this in parts, see status table below.

# <a name="Future_Work"> Future Work </a>
1. Enable [[FreeBSD]] drivers from OSKit in Mach. Checked that, does not work easily since the [[FreeBSD]] drivers are initialized from the [[FreeBSD]] PCI probe. OSKit-Mach uses the Linux PCI stuff and hence it would not be done easily.
2. Use the sound drivers in the OSKit -- port a useful sound daemon.
3. I want to get SMP working with OSKit-mach.
