Message-ID: <12728.1153429938@piper.nectar.cs.cmu.edu> (raw)

Am I right in believing that due to the
proliferation of single-processor
motherboards with APICs that it's generally
advisable for x86 machines to have either
  *norealmode=
or
  *nomp=
in PLAN9.INI?  Should the realmode code
reject attempts to use it if the kernel
has already gone down the APIC path?
Are there other things (APM?) which should
disable themselves?

Dave Eckhardt

P.S. Russ, thanks again for the VESA vga
driver.  Nothing's perfect but this thing
is sure useful.
