Oh the joys of the current bootstrap code. I believe your system actually makes it into runsystem.sysv before hanging (note the two empty lines at the bottom, one is b/c of wrapping around after "auth", one is printed from runsystem.sysv). You can stick a "set -x" into it to see where it hangs. If I should guess I'd say your root filesystem got corrupted and the root translator just crashes. /hurd/startup should notice that but doesn't for some reason. Or it ran out of space and thus crashed. Try to break into the kernel debugger using ctrl-alt-d, and enter `show all threads'. As always, fsck early and fsck often. Justus
