Re: New installation CDs and qemu image

[Riccardo Mottola]

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?
