[bug#63527] [PATCH v3 0/7] Rumpdisk support for the Hurd


From: Janneke Nieuwenhuizen
Subject: [bug#63527] [PATCH v3 0/7] Rumpdisk support for the Hurd
Date: Thu, 18 May 2023 10:45:58 +0200

So, good progress and amazing news since the v2 series:

    * Add libpciaccess-0.17, and
    * Use that for the Hurd,
    * Actually setup translators for pci.arbiter and rumpdisk,
    * For QEMU update the memory-size to 2048MB, and
    * Suggest to do so in our bare-hurd.tmpl example, and
    * It boots! \o/

I had a lot of kind debugging help from Samuel Thibault and Sergey Bugaev on
libera.chat #hurd (https://logs.guix.gnu.org/hurd/2023-05-17.log#132259) as
well as on the bug-hurd list
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2023-05//msg00326.html) to get
here, thank you!

With https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63501 by Josselin Poiret being merged
yesterday and this patch series we now have Rumpkernel/rumpdisk support for
the Hurd!

I've now succesfully been doing something like

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
./pre-inst-env guix system image -t hurd-raw gnu/system/examples/bare-hurd.tmpl
guix shell qemu -- qemu-system-i386                     \
-m 4096                                                 \
--enable-kvm                                            \
--device rtl8139,netdev=net0                            \
--netdev user,id=net0,hostfwd=tcp:0.0.0.0:11022-:2222   \
--snapshot                                              \
--no-reboot                                             \
--hda /gnu/store/r5dpblnfsj08jh3hdmn8s6l9xaczwn65-disk-image
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and ssh into the Hurd VM again.

(Should we update the the Childhurds blogpost too, it suggest -m 512
 https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/childhurds-and-substitutes/?)
