Stupid Question: GRUB Partition Issue
After the death of my Hurd PC, I've been trying to migrate over to my
main development machine. I freed up some space on the tail end of my
HD, and created a hurd-owned file system.
I've untarred the Hurd stuff into that directroy, and can see with
dumpe2fs that it's a valid file system, and fdisk shows it as a Linux
partition.
However, when I went to boot into the Hurd from GRUB, I can't get GRUB
to recognize that partition.
It sees my Linux and Swap partitions without trouble (0x83), but when
it gets to my Hurd partition, it says "Unrecognized file system (0x5)"
and won't boot from it.
This is a 4.7 Gig HD, and the Hurd is sitting on the last 970 Megs of
the drive.
Can anyone suggest why this might be happening? BTW: The Hurd is in
the second logical partition. The following are the Linux names
of the partitions
/dev/hdc1 Linux (root)
/dev/hdc2 Swap
/dev/hdc3 Linux (/usr)
/dev/hdc5 Linux (/projects)
/dev/hdc6 Hurd (root)
