Hi,
since reinstalling on my old memory machine is a dead-end, I tried
another route: I took the disk from my PII machine to another box, which
has 1GB of RAM, 1.6GHz processor but still has PATA so I could attach my
disk. Since the old box did run HURD for years, I hope it will become
usable again once reinstalled.
Installation on the fast box (an IBM NetVista) went quite fine, I could
also use the pseudo-graphical install. Everything is faster of course,
no problem with drivers and it installed GRUB and all packages.
However, at reboot, after GRUB, the machine hangs! Exactly in the same
place!
The installer doesn't install also the debug kernel by default, right?
Out of curiosity, I took the HD and put it in the original machine an
there it just self-reboots instead of displaying GRUB. This is much
worse than before :(
