<saravia>why hurd is unstable... what means... this only crash and it need restart the machine?

<damo22>azert: my code is very similar to freebsd 4

<damo22>but bsd has some macros to handle lists

<azert>FreeBSD 4 had definitely support for smp, so I wouldn’t expect this code on such a key aspect of the kernel to introduce new bugs in that regards. This was their smp man page https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=smp&apropos=0&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+4.0-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html

<azert>:p

<azert>I’d say that gnumach sits between FreeBSD 4 and FreeBSD 5 in terms of SMP support. Even if nobody ever used gnumach with SMP seriously on the Hurd for what o know

<azert>which is a pity

<gnu_srs1>youpi: I finally got the image to boot following the instructions at: https://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/faq/dev-init/

<gnu_srs1>From linux I used the hint: With the following modification:

<gnu_srs1>FAILED: touch /target/dev/urandom; ls -l /target/dev/urandom; lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4 Nov 5 14:37 /target/dev/urandom -> fd/2

<gnu_srs1>Worked: rm /target/dev/urandom; touch /target/dev/urandom;ls -l /target/dev/urandom; -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 28 17:22 /target/dev/urandom
