Rumpdisk errors on boot

[João Pedro Malhado <phlogiston@sapo.pt>]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to install the hurd on an old Toshiba notebook via crosshurd
(1.7.60), but the system is not booting with issues in the disk detection when
using rumpdisk. The boot messages (I have typed these in as the list does not
seem to accept photos as attachments).

(after a series of Enter evaluation/Exit evaluation lines)

The last 2 messages then repeat every 10 seconds (sometimes with a different
tc_bcount value), but nothing else seems to happen.

The SATA controller is set to compatibility mode on the BIOS (I was getting a
different type of error on AHCI mode).

My grub entry is:

menuentry "GNU/Hurd (pci-arbiter+acpi+rumpdisk)" {
        set root=(hd0,msdos1)
        multiboot /boot/gnumach.gz root=part:1:device:wd0 noide -s
        module /hurd/pci-arbiter.static pci-arbiter \
                --host-priv-port='${host-port}' \
                --device-master-port='${device-port}' \
                --next-task='${acpi-task}' \
                '$(task-create)' '$(task-resume)'
        module /hurd/acpi.static acpi \
                --next-task='${disk-task}' \
                '$(acpi-task=task-create)'
        module /hurd/rumpdisk.static rumpdisk \
                --next-task='${fs-task}' \
                '$(disk-task=task-create)'
        module /hurd/ext2fs.static ext2fs \
                --multiboot-command-line='${kernel-command-line}' \
                --exec-server-task='${exec-task}' -T typed '${root}' \
                '$(fs-task=task-create)'
        module /hurd/exec.static exec '$(exec-task=task-create)'
}

If I try using in-gnumach drivers, the boot process also fails further down with
the message:

Hurd server bootstrap: extefs[device:hd0s1] exec startupext2fs: Executing
'/hurd/startup': No such file or directory

Mounting the drive from linux, I can check that /hurd/startup file does exist.

Any idea of what the problem is and how to fix it?

Many thanks,
João
