Greetings, I'm a newbie trying to install the hurd, i read the install guide and the mail archives of the last months and I have the idea that i understand them.
My general problem is that the native-install script hangs at a certain point, it gives no error message and it really hangs (i let it alone for a night and in the morning it was the same). The first time I run it it hangs at the lines: " settrans ttypo /hurd/term /dev/ttypo pty-slave /dev/ptypo settrans -cg ptypp " I tried several releases and both the old (serverboot.gz) and new (module /hurd/ext2fs.static ...) boot sequence. Still the problem is very consequent. When i reboot and run the script again -just being stubborn- it starts installing packages but most of the time hangs at the ext2 progs package. At this moment i use the 20020523 tarbal on a 500 mb partition. There occurs one error at boot time saying that ext2fs.static encountered a bad block or something of the like, but this does not seem to bug the system (root is mounted correctly etc). Also i looked into the irq's and according to my redhat install there is one shared irq between usb and the mother bord chipset. Though i reckon hurd wouldn't boot at all if this was a problem - also i dont use any usb devices. I would be very happy if someone could hint me towards a sollution, Jaap Karssenberg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
