What I did was downgrade back to 19990524 and check that it boots; then I began installing libraries and executables from the newer package and testing bootability after each batch of a dozen or so files. It turned out to be something in /hurd/init. Now I have everything else from 19990725 and the system boots. I haven't bothered to examine the problem further, nor have I tried hurd-19990907. (Building it seems to require tetex-bin, so I built that too, but the teTeX packages have so far refused to install.) After I get the Hurd upgraded, I intend to finish loadkeys and write a translator for displaying text with colors.
