-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, today I tried to reinstall my Debian GNU/Hurd system.
The original system was intalled via K7 CD, and working perfectly, but due to sudden power off, the data corrupted and it didn't boot any more. And because my cdrom was also broken last time, I tried to install it via some "cross" way. At first I download the tarball and unpack it from my GNU/Linux system, But after the reboot to the Hurd system, some system message shows that "/liexec/console-run: /dev/console not found" (I cannot repeat it exactly, but more or less the same meaning), and drop me a shell which I could do nothing (system is readonly and nothing under /dev). I used the newest tarball from [1] and operated according to the guide [2] and [3]. Then I tried "crosshurd" package, and did as the docs in /usr/share/doc, the same thing happened after the rebooting. I remember I did a cross installation one or two year ago, It works very fine, just untar-reboot-nativeinstall-reboot-nativeinstall. Is it because now we start a hurd console by default?(I've ever seen such a discussion before in this list) So I searched and found the xattr way[4], also from this list. I installed modified linux kernel of 2.6.15 and patched "star", then run crosshurd, it set all the trans correctly. but after booting it, I found I cannot login (yes, the root password is not empty!)... and everything gone well after I copied /etc/shadow from the Linux partition.
