What I mean to say here is that last year I tried to install the 20.8.02 tar
ball from ftp://alpha.gnu.org . I assume that there has not been any change in
the MBrinkm tar.gz since august 2002.Otherwise I would assume that the date
would have changed so that I would have noticed that.
Last year I reported that the hurd boot froze at a certain stage and kernel
panic. I tried contrib/marcus on the same machine for fun to-day (but I use
the K4-Debian now).The same-procedure-as-last-year happened,but when I edited
the first modul-line /hurd/ext2fs.static to erase the "--readonly" switch, the
Hurd continued past the hang to single-user runlevel as it should. From here I
could continue the regular ./native-install.
Upon a second boot Hurd this time actually accepted "--readonly" on that
modular line in grub,and I ran the ./native-install a second time as
requested.
Now, on third boot as multiuser the message was that "could not fsck, could
not mount readonly", or something like that,so I had to add --readonly on the
ext2fs.static module command line. Does this sound weard to you?
My grub boot disk was always arranged as -s and --readonly on singleuser,and
none of the above on multiuser. I never tried to edit the menu.list lines,
since I have insufficient knowledge.
QUESTION:
Has the grub boot-setup for Hurd changed as to the -s option in the kernel
commandline and --readonly option in the ext2fs.static commandline?
