Subject: [9fans] alternative kernels? new install
Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2003 11:04:44 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030626150444.9537.qmail@zulu.avenirsolutions.com> (raw)


Hello,

I am trying to install Plan 9.

My boot process is stalling after printing:

cpu0 ( pentium 2 .... )
ECLR   < it hangs here >

The trouble-shooting page leads me to believe that this indicates
that 9load has done its bootstrap work correctly, and that the boot-scripts
are not reached.
The problem lies in the kernel.

I gather that the Plan9 kernel is customizable, but I know very little
about the process.  Is there a way to create a modified kernel image
on a host operating system like linux or BSD, or find prebuilt images other
than the generic install kernel. ( which doesn't seem to like my hardware. )

I would very much like to play with Plan 9.

Should I wait for the new distribution?

tks,

mulc
