Hi again!

Also, in addition to problems described in my previous letter, I have two other ones (I can install Sculpt to a flash stick, though, so this is not so big problem):

1) Sculpt boots (only with x86_32 case, so far) fine until the desktop, it detects my Intel Gigabit LAN and Intel wifi just fine, and the network interface is up and assigned an IP. Also, it correctly detects the size of my 750 GB hard disk (actually, 698 GB, because 1 GB == 1024^3 bytes, not 1000^3 bytes). But the Leitzentrale lists only first three partitions, not all ones (see the screenshot below).

My hard disk partitioning scheme is the following: [1]. The 1st primary partition is a 64 GB FAT32 partition. I tried to use it as a Genode partition, but Sculpt has problems mounting it, for some reason. The extended partition contains the following logical partitions within it:

1) a 3 GB HPFS partition with OS/2 2) another 3 GB HPFS partition (empty) 3) a 420 GB JFS partition, shared by OS/2 and Linux 4) 40 GB Linux swap partition 5) a 55 GB Linux ext3 partition 6) a 10 GB BeFS Haiku partition 7) a 90 GB freespace

[2] is the Sculpt log (I commented-out the routing rules in the config file, so all logs go to the Core LOG service)

[3] is the Sculpt screenshot when loaded, LAN interface up, and there was an attempt to mount a FAT32 partition.

So, there are two problems: 1) Sculpt fails to mount a FAT32 partition 2) part_blk seems to detect not all existing partitions.

The hard disk is a Seagate with a 4096 bytes physical sector, though, it is not aligned at 4096-byte boundary, but aligned on a cylinder boundary (which is a requirement for OS/2). So, I'd suspect some alignment problems here. Also, hard disk geometry in partition table is 127 sectors per track, 255 heads, -- maybe this could cause some problems too? Though, several OS'es had no problems seeing and mounting partitions. I tried Linux, OS/2, Haiku, KolibriOS, ReactOS, WinXP -- all these have no problems with seeing or mounting partitions.

So, any help would be appreciated.
