Hi all, I've downloaded all the hurd packages mentioned in 'cross-install' and I've installed hurd with it to hd1s1.
FIRST PROBLEM: The disk is about 520 mbs. It has 528 cilinders. In linux fdisk I create a single partition from 1 to 528. Grub is unable to read that partition. It determines the filesystem ext2 correctly but says when reading the kernel: 'Unable to access block outside partition' or something. I've decreased the last cilinder to 500 instead of 528 and it works fine. SECOND PROBLEM: Booting hurd the first time (single-user mode), I run native-install. The first error is in libc configuration when ask for timezone. It shows an error first, and then, asks 'Number:'. What should I say here ? (I'm in spain). I've put a random timezone. Then, hurd says that it will run dpkg twice to set up pendent packages. Ok. The first time, it shows a lot of errors (as the script warns), but when running the second time, it does nothing. It says 'Setting up <package>...' and stays there (I've redownloaded all the packages to see if that was a download error). It always stop in the first package, so, I can do nothing more!!! THIRD PROBLEM: I've downloaded the tarball to see if it goes better that packages. I untar it and it goes worse! It is unable to configure anything. When native-install is run, it configures first awk and libc, but it's unable to do it. And it stays in the same place when running the second time dpkg as I said before. I'm getting crazy. Please, help me! I want to try The HURD. Many thanks. Bye. ---------------------------------------- Juli-Manel Merino Vidal [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://jmmv.cjb.net ---------------------------------------- >>> Running Debian/GNU Linux 2.2
