Hi, I've started to write down the steps to install Debian GNU/Hurd as promised some time ago (up to and including X-windows) under Qemu, using the Debian installer in mini-20110308.iso, and ran into a set of problems:
After the successful install (including setting up the network with dhcp) the final step before reboot fails: Install GRUB bootloader on MBR: Yes (when rebooting) /hurd/init: Crashing system; essential task auth died init: notifying ext2fs /dev of shutdown: notifying pfinet ... notifying ext2fs gunzip:device:rd0 of shutdown Reboot happens after a timeout, so it was not possible to catch all output. Restarting from the hard disk no network was set up, maybe dhcp-client should be called again to get it working?? manually setting up the network with: settrans -afg /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i eth0 10.0.2.15 -a 10.0.2.15 -m 255.255.0.0 -g 10.0.2.3 enabled the network again. However, now ssh-server failed to start. A second try without ssh-server chosen resulted the same problems: apt-get install random-egd openssh-server Now openssh fails to start, giving debug output from ../sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c:2297 assertion error from glibc (too much to copy manually from the mach terminal, sorry). libc0.3 version is 2.11.2-13 with the fixed libc. Is the fixed pfinet included in mini-20110308.iso?? Something is definitely wrong here, what? Maybe these problems are the similar as for David Hiran Watson with Virtualbox. In the other hand, he has problems installing the base system, which was not the case for me. I don't know anything of dchp support using Virtualbox, have not tried it yet. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
