How did you configure the build? Just a plain ``./configure''?

What happens if you add ``-S'' to the GRUB ``kernel [...]'' line to make the system boot in single user mode? Do you have `/etc/defaults/hurd' configured for the Hurd console to be started? If yes, then please remove that temporarily and retry. > So, my question is, does this indicate something went wrong with my > gnumach build (perhaps a missing step in the build instructions)?

Contrary to the Debian hurd package, I'm not aware of any patches used in the Debian gnumach package that are required to get a usable system. (I didn't check right now, however, but I'm also used to replacing the Debian-shipped GNU Mach kernel with a home-built one and that used to work.) > or will it work with the Debian binary Hurd as well? > Hopefully I'm asking that in a way that makes sense. Yes and yes. Regards, Thomas
