I don't remember it now... Maybe the next time.

Where did you get this? It should be -o hurd. > Oh sorry... typo error. I used hurd always; giving none here returns a completly different error, and I also tried without the -L HURD as somebody said, but that makes no difference. -L only sets the ext2 label... > > > I'm using gnumach_1.2-5.deb and hurd_20000803.deb.

I think it's a problem of gnumach with my drive, so it can't get the correct partition size. I will try to reinstall it also in my old drive (500 MB), and if works, I will try to patch gnumach if I can find the error. Thanks > Thanks, > Marcus > > -- > `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
