Hi Mike,
Thanks for the reply. The system is a virtual machine. I switched the NIC from
e1000e to an e1000 and it boots OK now, so seems to be an interaction with the
e1000e.
The entire boot is here:

Thank you,

Using e1000e with netdde (0.0.20200330-13) does indeed fail on hurd-i386
and hurd-amd64. The latter hangs after issuing the DHCPREQUEST whilst
the former like Jason reported. e1000e worked in the previous netdde. I
hadn't been aware of this Qemu NIC option but I see that Linux 'Virtual
Machine Manager 5.0.0' now lists e1000e rather than e1000 which I think
might be a recent change on my host.
The workaround is to substitute e1000e for e1000 but fixing this
properly is now number 1 on my list.
Should version 12 be restored as the latest 'sid' for the time being ?
Cheers,
Mike.
