Hi all,
I am not sure if this is the write place to post questions, if not please suggest me an appropriate forum from where i can get help...

I have an ELF binary and I make some changes in this binary where I replace a call to a function by a call to some address which contains my code, and which does nothing but calls the original function.
The objdump diff is pasted below.

Any XNU hackers here?

Fri, 14 Sep 2007 17:46:46 +0000

Are there any xnu hackers or programmers working on gnu herd trying to port over design ideas and issue solutions? I know xnu is not a true microkernel. I would also like to know if despite the design differences, is the hurd kernel worth being a true microkernel performance wise?

Need help cross-compiling MIG

Vitalie Ciubotaru — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 21:59:16 +0000

Hi everybody,

I am very interested in exploring Hurd. I installed it from a tarball and
played with it for a while. Might sound like a stupid idea, but I would
really like to compile "my own" Hurd [that's how I started with Linux].
Specifically, I want to cross-build Hurd from Linux. I found Thomas
Schwinge's cross-compilation scripts ["cross-gnu" and "cross-gnu-env"].

GNU/Mach and L4 differences

Wed, 15 Mar 2006 18:15:24 +0000

Hi all,

is it possible to find somewhere informations about differences between GNU/Mach and L4 microkernel? I found only a few notes written by OKUJI Yoshinori in 2000, but these informations are probably outdated :(

Cheers

hurd buzzes when starting /hurd/ex2fs.static module

eugrus — Mon, 06 Mar 2006 21:59:43 +0000

My distro is Debian GNU/Hurd

Memory: 128Mb, i386

My PT is:
hd0s1 [/dev/hda1] (hd0,0) - Linux SWAP
hd0s2 [/dev/hda2] (hd0,1) - ext2 (root partition with base system)

I've used these grub commands to run kernel and modules:

root (hd0,1)

kernel /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd0s2

module /hurd/ext2fs.static --multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line} --host-priv-port=${host-port} \

subversion client on hurd

startx — Thu, 09 Feb 2006 14:57:55 +0000

Did subversion (client) ever run on a GNU/Hurd system? I found lots of subversion tools on Debian GNU/Hurd but not the client itself.
