device to small for superlblock?

[Yngvi Thor Sigurjonsson <yngvi@hof.is>]

Hi!

I am having trouble starting hurd and would really appreciate it if
someone could help me out. I won't promise I can help the hurd effort
but I am willing to try if can get the beasts running.

At first I was using gnumach(-classic) but it always hangs after
initializing my SCSI adapter (on board adaptec  aic7800) so I switched
to gnumach-lite from march 10. An now I get get the following
error message:
ext2fs:hd1s1:panic:main:device too small for superblock (0 bytes)

The device I am using is a 220 MByte WDC IDE disk (the same disk I first

installed linux on 6 years ago). Do I really need a 500 MB to run hurd?
It looks like there is plenty of space left at the moment.
The partition  is /dev/hdb1 under linux and should from what I gather
be hd1s1 undeer hurd and (hd1,0) under GRUB.

My GRUB commands are:

root=(hd1,0)
kernel=/boot/gnumach-lite root=hd1s1 -s
module=/boot/serverboot
boot

here is tune2fs info from linux on device /dev/hdb1
