Subject: [9fans] Reboot during kernel initiation (Live CD)
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 8728a390-ead2-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Hello all,

	I'm trying to get Plan 9 running on an old system I have laying
around and I'm having a problem. Whenever I boot using the Live CD
(using both options: live cd and install) my system reboots during the
kernel initiation phase. Here is a log of the text that scrolls by
during bootup:

found 9pccd.gz
.gz............................
[more text scrolls by here]
#10: elnk3: 10Mbps ...
256M memory: ...

	My system always reboots after the "256M memory" line is printed and
I figure its because of a hardware incompatibility issue but I can't
seem to figure out which piece of hardware is causing the problem.
Here is the lspci (Linux) output on this system:

	I've used the same CD to successfully boot a different system so I
know the problem isn't the CD. I'm running out of ideas and would
appreciate any type of feedback. Thanks in advance!
