Package: crosshurd Version: 1.7.50 Severity: normal Tags: patch Running crosshurd to install in a disk partition and then running update-grub, rebooting and selecting the Hurd entry, fails to boot because the Grub does not find /boot/gnumach.gz (there is /boot/gnumach-1.6-486.gz).
The following patch solves the problem in my case: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- makehurddir.sh 2016-05-22 16:28:32.000000000 +0200 +++ makehurddir2.sh 2016-05-24 21:25:48.678706572 +0200 @@ -43,6 +43,8 @@ if [ -e $TARGET/var/cache/apt/archives/gnumach-image-1.6-486_* ] ; then extract gnumach-image-1.6-486 + # place symlink for compatibility with update-grub (/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober) + ln -s gnumach-1.6-486.gz "$TARGET/boot/gnumach.gz" fi if [ -e $TARGET/var/cache/apt/archives/libbz2-1.0_* ] ; then ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Afterwards, the Hurd starts to boot but fails (hangs) with the following error (maybe an issue with partition names): start ext2fs: ext2fs: device:(hostdisk//dev/sda,msdos2): No such device or address Also I have observed that, running "grep TARGET /usr/share/crosshurd/*" yields some results with "$TARGET/..." quoted and some others not, so if we run crosshurd with a path with spaces, it may fail. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=gl_ES.utf8, LC_CTYPE=gl_ES.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages crosshurd depends on: ii dialog 1.2-20140911-1 ii dpkg-dev 1.17.26 Versions of packages crosshurd recommends: pn attr <none> crosshurd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
