    Package: Hurd

    Version: July 2020

    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

    Please use the reportbug command rather than trying to fill the form by
    hand, which is always error-prone.

    That's because the IDE driver only supports LBA28. The AHCI driver does
    support 2TB devices, see http://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/faq/2_gib_partition_limit/
