Can you be more specific? It always worked for me. > After running cross-install well, All the problems you describe from here on indicate that cross-install did NOT run well. cross-install prints a message on the screen when it is completed, saying that you should reboot now and run native-install. But it does not print the message if it is interrupted. Did you see this message? In any case, a transcript of cross-install, or the install.log created by it will show if it indeed run through. > i boot my box on hurd and it ask me > for the file: [some]/boot/servers.boot > I noticed that a file at the same location have the name > /boot/servers.boot.dpkg-new so i "cp" the file with the correct name and > it works. cross-install does this for you. > After some hardware checks it hungs with an error message like > "boot-start:416 bla bla bla". > Reading many mailing list i found that the file "exec" would be in the > directory /servers� (that was empty). > The file exec was in /hurd so i "lndir" that directory. > It works fine and i got the propt (taping twice any key).

The first thing native-install does is to set up /servers/socket/2 which is needed to make pipes work.

Oops :) I don't know why, sorry. I will try it later. Thanks, Marcus
