But I deleted the directory and followed your instructions wrt permissions. It still had the same error. The complete error message is given below: start /hurd/ext2fs.static: ext2fs: device:hd0s3: warning: FILESYSTEM NOT UNMOUNTED CLEANLY; PLEASE fsck (well I did fsck and this message was gone) Hurd server bootstrap: ext2fs.static [device:hd0s3] exec init proc auth/libexec/console-run: /dev/console: No such file or directory /libexec/console-run: /tmp/console: Read-only filesystem /libexec/console-run: /hurd/term: Read-only filesystem /libexec/console-run: using temporary console /tmp /libexec/console-run: cannot execute /libexec/runsystem No such file or directory (this indeed was the probelm /libexec contained runsystem.gnu after renaming it to runsystem it booted correctly) /hurd/init: /libexec/runsystem exited with status 5 /libexec/console-run: /dev/console: No such file or directory /libexec/console-run: /tmp/console: Not a directory /libexec/console-run: /tmp: Device or resource busy /hurd/init: /bin/sh exited with status 2 (this sequence repeats once more) So the renaming of runsystem.gnu to runsystem in /libexec solved the issue. I hope this will also be taken care in next version. uname -a, ls and other commands are working but each of these gives out one warning sh: start-pipeline: pgrppipe: Protocol family not supported Thanks Thomas for the help.
