Hi,
without success and further help, I just attempted a clean reinstall .As
a note, I add that the machine I am using worked with hurd for years,
until its hard-disk trashed.
The installer went fine (it is quite slow, CD-ROM access seems quite
painful) through all the steps, up to the last one where it says
"unmounting volumes". After 10 minutes it was still there without any
disk activity, I shut down the machine. At boot, I do run fsck, as expected.
At the next boot, I'm in the same situation as before. fsck says it
can't check a mounted partition, my /proc is empty as is /var/run
I will, as I did before, reconfigure the "hurd" package.
But what can I do vor /var/run? and generally the problem? something
else that could benefit of being reconfigured?
