Re: [9fans] The details on the kernel panic!

[gdiaz@online.ie]

Hello,

you can try to install p9 with vmware demo version (downloadable from 
www.vmare.com) from other OS. Give vmware access to real disk on your thinkpad 
and install plan9 on it. 
Then you can try to compile your kernel with your requirements.
 
If you have another computer you can modify plan9.ini to send kernel events to 
serial ports, that would help you to write all debug messages produced by 
kernel on panic.

In step by step way you can do:

1. download and install vmware demo (valid for 30days i think)
2. install plan9 on you real harddisk in a p9 partition using last compiled CD 
and vmware
3. modify plan9.ini (booted from vmware)to send events to serial
4. connect your serial to another computer
5. boot your laptop and save error messages recorded from serial port
6. modify your kernel as needed (hehehehe)
7. compile it from vmware
8. add a boot menu to plan9.ini , and test the new kernel you just compiled
9. report your experiences here or to 9trouble mail list

BTW,I tested P9 with i815 video card and it worked fine (on VAIO PCG-FX)

I hope that you have luck

gabi.
