installation log lists the correct version of hurd which you uploaded 2 days ago (thank you!): Setting up hurd:hurd-i386 (1:0.9.git20260527-2) ... But when booting I still get this: INIT: Entering runlevel: 2 Using makefile-style concurrent boot in runlevel 2. xkbcommon: ERROR: couldn't find a Compose file for locale "C" (mapped to "C") unexpected ACK from keyboard Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd. getty[640]: Bad syntax Debian GNU/Hurd forky/sid testvm console getty[645]: Bad syntax getty[648]: Bad syntax login: getty[650]: Bad syntax getty[652]: Bad syntax getty[654]: Bad syntax getty[656]: Bad syntax getty[658]: Bad syntax getty[660]: Bad syntax getty[662]: Bad syntax INIT: Id "C0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes Do you have an idea how I can debug this? I noticed that on Linux, /usr/sbin/getty is a symlink to agetty. On Hurd, /usr/sbin/agetty is ten times the size of /usr/sbin/getty. Thanks! cheers, josch
