Subject: [9fans] '486 terminal freezes during boot
Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2001 08:43:09 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20011123.084311.-2827.0.msenecal1@juno.com> (raw)

When booting the Plan 9 partition on my '486 terminal, it freezes. At
boot I see this on screen:

PBS...Plan 9 From Bell Labs
dev A0 port 1F0 config 0C5A capabilities 0101 mwdma 0101
using sdC0!9fat!Plan9.ini
found 9PCDISK. attr 0x0 start 0x4a len 1441737
.650381...<lots more .>...+489424...<lots more .>...+87400=1227205
entry: 0x80100020
cpu0:61MHz 486DX (cpuid: Ax 0x0400 Dx 0x000)

rwm16
7125 free pages
28500K bytes
134100K swap

And that's where it freezes. I've let it sit for a half hour, but still
no go. I tried re-installing Plan 9 (on this '486 that's a 2-hour
chore!), re-installing it with the network card disabled, but neither
worked. The installation disk worked flawlessly, no errors, lock-ups, or
anything.

Does anyone know what might be causing this?
