assertion failure at line 47 of libfshelp/lock-acquire.c

[James Morrison]

 As the name suggests I have managed to get this assertion failure.
In fshelp_acquire_lock, using LOCK_UN flags, *user is supposed to
equal
box->type.  This assertion comes up while booting GNU/Hurd machine at
the UW csc.  The machine was working fine, then it got turned off,
somehow, and now this assertion appears after the login shell prints
/etc/motd, and before any login shell comes up.  I haven't found. the
exact problem. But Even if I remove Apache, and sshd from the startup
and use an ext2fs.static translator that I know works, eg mine I
still
get the assertion failure.  Sub-Hurd's are
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

Also in a sub-hurd, is there a way not to have an e2fsck occur?
 Eg.  My root partition is hd0s3, I am booting a sub-hurd off of
hd3s1
so I settrans -a /mnt /hurd/ext2fs /dev/hd3s1; boot -I -D/mnt
/mnt/boot/servers.boot hd3s1


Thanks for any help ;)
