Anyone here had a chance to try a Dell E4300?  It's a nice, compact system, but it really refuses to boot Plan 9:

It has on-board SATA hd, SATA cd-rom, etc.  I tried quanstro's 9atom.iso, and with the SATA controller in AHCI mode, it'll start booting, but hangs at:

45555 => 818807+1020832+474972=2314611
entry: f0100020

Plan 9

In modes other than AHCI, neither the "stock" or quanstro's cd's will recognize any devices other than fd0, and even then won't boot from it.

The "stock" cd will hang here in AHCI mode:

Any idea where to start looking?  (besides for a different laptop, that is :) )

Thanks!!
