Subject: [9fans] Plan 9 Isn't Booting
Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2006 08:24:23 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1C19183D-1023-4C26-8FD5-D19469094637@gmail.com> (raw)

Summary: Plan 9 doesn't boot after a seemingly successful install.

Details: After booting and playing around on the live CD for a bit, I
decided to give the installation a whirl. A couple entries of "i/o
error" in the device detection step kept me from advancing in the
installation. I tried restarting the installation process with DMA
off and I successfully cleared the device detection with no problems.

The rest of the installation went smooth: deleted the one and only
partition, added a new partition (on sdC0), set the partition type to
"PLAN9", had it subdivided according to the default config, installed
files from the dist, and had the installer make a Plan 9 boot file
for me. After finishing the install, I rebooted and set the C drive
as the first priority boot device. From here, I expected that the
machine would just boot right into Plan 9 since I had set is as a
plan9 boot config.

Instead, I got a screen that looked similar to the screen I got when
my CD-ROM drive was set as secondary slave (this was before all this,
obviously):
