[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: Hurd

Severity: normal



I have tried to install July 2020  version of Hurd on a real (Dual Core 3 Ghz) computer. 
 
 AHCI was not working (with a message Phy0? from memory). 
 So I change in the BIOS, AHCI to IDE. 
 
 Then the 500 GB disk was detected as: 
 hd2: ST500DM002-1BD142, 131071 MB CHS=16709/255/63 
 
 I booted a Puppy Linux on it, and in Gparted, 
 CHS=60801/255/63
