Hello, First big thanks for the effort of making Hurd usable with debian packages etc... I followed the instructions in http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install and it runs.
However, after doing the apt-get update, apt-get upgrade with the two suggested package repositories, (ftp.gnuab.org, ftp.debian.org, the original one was removed), it did not boot any longer, with a message like (loading the ext2fs.static): disk_cache_init: Block size 1024 != vm_page_size 4096 The partition used had a 1024 blocksize, and after redoing it with 4096 bytes, it worked. To avoid this, I'd suggest to change # mke2fs -o hurd /dev/hda2' to # mke2fs -b 4096 -o hurd /dev/hda2 My main problem was to not carefully read the instructions on the partition naming schemes in use. Please change /dev/hda2 in the line above to /dev/hda1 to make it consistent with the (hd0,0) and then also hd0s1. or at least as consistent as can be made Please CC, as I do not follow the list. // Haakan
