Sounds like the kernel which is booting does not have the
nvidia driver in it.

I have a video card using a nvidia chipset. After added a line into the
vgadb, rio start in video and the installation is ok in 1024x768x8...good.

But, when I reboot , I got a message :
vgactl type<nvidia> unknow.
"Bizarre". Nvidia is a know chip for the installation, but not for
the plan9 system itself...

I tried something : I copy the /aux/vga when I boot from the install floppy
and copy it when I boot from the plan9 system and got a new message :
vgactlw type <nvidia> error in system call

It`s sure that I missed something somewhere...but I dont know what..

Pc : x86
video : Asus v3800M

Thanks
