now being stubborn, I tried to hold another i386 laptop with PATA drive. The "old" and "donor" laptop I tried have the a similar architecture both being ThinkPads with Pentium III I have also a Compaq Pentium IV. If I start HURD here: com0: The device below will clobber IRQ This won't work. Reconfigure your hardware and try again com0: port 3f8, spl = 6, pic = 4 now this laptop works perfectly with FreeBSD, AlpineLinux...... so well, my hardware is correctly configured! I tried to mess around in the bios - enable USB legacy support - disable parallel port no help! Even completely disabling USB.... no way, same error. I have my last resort, a newer, AMD Athlon laptop (which has different hardware being AMD based) this one "boots" runs fsck.... but too will die later with a message no more room in f61845e8 (/hurd/pci-arbiter(541)) Tried twice, twice "boots" without looking twice dies with "no more room". I finshed available hardware. Riccardi
