Looking at file dates, that was an old kernel which came from 9pi.img-old.gz . I've now replaced 9pi (and added a corresponding s9pi) with the kernel from the newer 9pi.img.gz, to reduce confusion. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

The pi's processor isn't an arm1176 exactly; it's a Broadcom bcm2835 videocore gpu, with an arm core grafted on. It's highly unlikely that qemu knows how to emulate this well enough for a native bcm kernel like 9pi to run successfuly. The "emulating raspberry pi the easy way" is not really emulating the pi, just using a generic arm kernel to run linux software from a raspberry pi linux distribution image. If you want to run 9pi, I recommend buying a raspberry pi. They aren't expensive, and native Plan 9 is a much more rewarding experience. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
