Uh, I don't really know how I'd start to debug `ext2fs.static' crashing at system start-up. > Where is that source file? <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/download.html> However note that the Debian GNU/Hurd installation contains a patch to make `ext2fs' and `ext2fs.static' handle ext2 file systems that are bigger than 2 Gib. That patch is not yet applied to the main source branch. > Can i build a new ext2fs.static from source? Sure you can, but to build it on a non GNU/Hurd system you need a cross compiler, which I'm currently about to start preparing to update the documentation for--isn't that nice... ;-) In the meantime you can try something different: use an older version of `ext2fs.static', that doesn't have the above mentioned patch. Fetch <URL:http://nic-nac-project.de/~schwinge/tmp/ext2fs-pre_ogi.static.bz2>, `bunzip2' it and store it as `/hurd/ext2fs.static' on your GNU/Hurd partition, perhaps saving the original `/hurd/ext2fs.static' in case you find a need for it later. As I said, the partition you installed GNU/Hurd on must be smaller than 2 GiB if you decide to go this route. If you can give that a try and succeed to boot GNU/Hurd, Ogi knows what to work on... ;-) Regards, Thomas _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
