Hello everyone,
I have a hurd-i386 installation running on real hardware that is working quite
well. By default Debian uses the IDE drivers in gnumach even if rumpdisk is
started at boot. How could I change to use rumpdisk instead?
I have tried to change the following line in the grub menu entry from
multiboot /boot/gnumach-1.8-486-up.gz root=part:2:device:hd0
to
multiboot /boot/gnumach-1.8-486-up.gz root=part:2:device:wd0 noide
Just doing that does not quite work and the system never gets to the Hurd server
bootstrap phase. This seems to be related to the acpi translator(?) because if
the corresponding section of the grub menu is removed, the boot does indeed go
through to INIT, but it is then unable to activate swap and to mount the root
file system. It says:
fsck.ext2: No such device or address while trying to open /dev/hd0s2
Should it be trying to mount /dev/wd0s2 instead? What would I need to change to
point there?
Best regards,
João
