Hi,
I downlaoed the CD the other day
It will work happily if I boot from the CD (except I can't work out how to make it invoke aux/vga with -c)
But after installation I get a kernel panic when switching into VGA mode
I've no investigated copying the kernel from the CD to the installation in text mode
There's no networking (I'm hoping that the particular Realtek driver is just missing from the kernel).
Has the boot/install set-up fallen out of step ?
matt

What kind of video card do you have?
What does the kernel panic say (panic: ___)?

i had that same problem with a CD burnt in November. that cd had
/dev/realtime compiled only on the cd boot kernel but not the 9pcf
kernel that was installed on 9fat.
recent CD's from february don't have this problem.
take the monitor and vga definitions off plan9.ini and recompile the
kernel, i bet the problem will be solved.

on a second thought, i didn't get a panic, so most likely i'm wrong
and i lose the bet.
