Hope not!

It's because I just copy "lib/grub" folder in (gnu bootloader grub). I
should also do that for the fonts I guess. But I doubt the issue comes
from here.

At some point, if we have the same files inside, it should work :p I
noticed that doing a cfdisk on the raw converted, vm-image root
partition reports:

Attributes: 80

which doesn't appear on the disk-image.

However, tune2fs does not show any noticeable difference (both ext_attr
and Hurd OS type are set).
