Mach Panic! Request guidance...

[B. Douglas Hilton]

Hi list!

I have longed to toy with Hurd, and actually tried it out briefly about
3 years ago.

Now, as broadband connectivity approaches me, I hope to join in with the
Hurd
development effort. I am a fair C / C++ programmer and have used Debian
for
nearly ten years! ( With a break from 94-97 ). I am also a mechanical
engineer,
so I have a very strong math background.

Anyways, here is my situation: my latest superbox is a Tyan Thunder 100
Pro
with currently one PII-450, a GeForce2 MX, and some SCSI drives. Due to
an
IRQ conflict between the onboard SCSI and the AGP slot, I have disabled
the
Adaptec 3290UW scsi in BIOS, and am using a Tekram 390F in a PCI slot.

When I try to boot Hurd, it detects the Adaptec, then panics because it
is
disabled, and never searches for the Tekram.

What to do?

Thanks!
- Doug

BTW - maybe respond via email, I just subscribed to this list today.
