[9fans] Inspiron 3500 - Hangs on reboot after install

[Tom Olson]

This is my first install of plan9, but I ran the installation to
completion and set it so it would reboot from the plan9 partition,
which is the entire disk. When I reboot, I get to the point where it
displays the size of the swap space and the screen freezes with a
blinking cursor. I do not see any messages that indicate a problem, it
found the pcmcia Ethernet, a netgear FA411, and the link light is lit.

I rebooted the install boot disk and created a floppy boot disk, just
to see if it acted differently. When I reboot from the floppy boot
disk, it hangs in the same place with the same messages.

I also recreated the install boot disk and went through the install
process again, with the same results.

I don't know what to do next. Can anyone help with some suggestions on
how to proceed?

Thanks.

Hola!
    Check out http://www.7f.no-ip.info/7f/plan9/hang.html
     or (if thats down from my current tests..)
    http://blessedchildren.virtualave.net/plan9/486.html

    I originally advertised this as a 486 issue, however, since
that post the situation has come up on several other processers.
Pentium, Pentium II, etc seem to be affected as well. Its just
a simple interrupt hack.

Problem solved, once I removed the the audio keyword from the plan9.ini file.
