Hi Will,
I can offer a fellow-user perspective on this, but I’m sure the Genode
developers can say more.

I haven’t used the default wifi driver so can’t say specifically, but in
porting the ath9k one I dug into the wifi code a bit so if you post the error I
can give it a look if you like.

If Sculpt recognizes your storage it will show you the partitions available. If
you create a partition called “GENODE”, you can then make it active (“GENODE*”)
and Sculpt will recognize it by default. This is documented in the Sculpt
instructions here: https://genode.org/documentation/articles/sculpt-22-10. If
your storage isn’t recognized is it NVMe? There was an issue affecting that
driver that’s since been fixed:

You can boot Sculpt from a hard drive (if you use grub already), simply copy
the ”boot” folder to a hard drive partition and amend your system’s main grub
cfg copying the commands in boot/grub/grub.cfg.
Hope it helps —
