Hello,
I have downloaded, built, and begun testing Sculpt EA, following the instructions linked to in the 18.02 release notes. Everything went well during the build process.
Since I primarily run everything I do in VirtualBox (and don't have the recommended hardware anyway), I created a VM as close to the recommendations as possible. It booted fine from a virtual CD, the system came up using the VESA framebuffer driver, the mouse worked, and I was able to follow the instructions until I got to the part about storage. Unfortunately, there are no "<device>" nodes under "<block_devices>" in "/report/drivers/block_devices".
I have the VM set up with a "SATA" controller and a single virtual drive. Has anyone tried this? Do you have any hints on how to diagnose what is going wrong?
Also, I modified the config to use wired networking (using a virtual Intel-based NIC), but I couldn't think of a way to easily test whether it is working or not. (I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I appreciate any hints.)
If I can get those two items working, it looks like I'll be in good shape!
Thanks,
