Hi, I installed a fresh Debian-Hurd using netinst-iso from http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-cd/hurd-i386/current/.
Beside the kernel choice the installation went smoothly (a problem Debian-Hurd shares with Debian-kFreeBSD ^^). I had to modify line 117 in /etc/hurd/rc: "settrans -c /proc /hurd/procfs --compatible" -> "settrans -c /proc /hurd/procfs", otherwise the /proc file system didn't came up. That reduces the noise during boot dramatically (cannot stat /proc or something like that). But still (the VM is 06:03:47 up 3 days, 10:16) the console (xl vncviewer) doesn't come to a prompt. OpenSSH-Server runs, so I can access remotely. I'm quite unsure if it has to do with procfs or another issue (nothing suspicious in log or on screen) - but I'd like to mention it. The 3rd issue I recognize is an nfs failure: # mount -t nfs waldorf:/data/Projects /data/Projects $ cd /data/Projects/OSS/libstatgrab/hurd/ $ ../configure ../configure: error: cannot find myself; rerun with an absolute file name *** Error in `/hurd/nfs': double free or corruption (!prev): 0x002016c0 *** < /data/Projects is gone> (for protocol) Best regards -- Jens Rehsack [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
