DHCP
Hi,
since reinstalling on my old memory machine is a dead-end, I tried
another route: I took the disk from my PII machine to another box, which
has 1GB of RAM, 1.6GHz processor but still has PATA so I could attach my
disk. Since the old box did run HURD for years, I hope it will become
usable

Hi,
I installed everything on a "host" machine (same architecture as my
target box, just more ram and more Mhz). I end up with something bootable!
However if I put the disk in my original box, it just keeps rebooting, I
don't even get the grub screen. Thus I suppose it is grub that forces
this

Did you try to put a linux partition on this box too? The idea would be
to check whether its grub has the same kind of issue.
no, not yet. Btw, they are two boxes now! The HDD is not big enough. But
I could try on another HDD temporarily, perhaps the best bet would b
Hi,
I was installing software from source after having compiled it, that is
just a massive copy exercise when my machine froze with an assertion
"refcount detected use-after-free".
I attach the whole screenshot with context and error.

Hi,
since I have so many troubles getting Hurd running on my ol' and
faithful computer again, with my GRUB problems being the nastiest one, I
thought of an alternative strategy. It is most probably realy a GRUB
problem, but at the end it affects my ability to run HURD again.
Being no fun of

Hi,
I'm trying to install HURD on a laptop
PIII 700, 392MB Ram, wireless card ("ral")

1) text install. Install hangs idle (the cpu fan stops, thus I suppose
no loop)
start ext2fs: Hurd server bootstrap: ext2fs[gunzip:device:rd0] exec
2) pseudo-graphical install:
gives so

What happened to you at 1) is most likely just bad luck then. There
is no reason to believe that the bootstrap is different at this point.
The current bootstrap mechanism is unfortunately not very robust and
it is known to randomly hang.
I tried several times though, n

Hi, some questions/thoughts:
1) Can you boot in single-user mode?
no, same problem
2) Did you unstall a gnumach-dbg kernel?
no: this is a fresh CD install
3) Did you install Hurd on a partition?
4) Did you format that partition
Hi,
do you guys have any experience using HURD on VirtualBox? It is my last
resort currently to test a bit of hurd

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

Hi,
I am now in the same situation that brought previously my hurd VM to a
hang. I attach a screenshot of the xterm.
After having downloaded a number of packages, it just hangs. No hight
cpu usage.
From another console I checked:

pagesize: 4096

If that's the problem, you could to try a different NIC.
I can telnet into the system and perform a ping, I'd say network is working.
This being a virtual machine, I don't have many options for a NIC
Hi,
it says "most probably a bug", so I report it. This is happening on
poweroff and I can now conveniently take a screenshot since I run in a VM.
The last shutdon like this required me to fsck twice the filesystem
before it booted again!
