could you run acid on the kernel you're booting from.
and then run src(0xf01aa887)?

Re: [9fans] Problem installing plan9

[erik quanstrom]

when you're in the installer, you should be able to
open a new window and type

	; acid /386/9pcf

A suggestion (if slightly torturous).
Use qemu (say under a linux live cd) to install  to that hard drive.
Then pop the hard drive into the other laptop and hope plan 9 works  
on it.

Re: [9fans] Problem installing plan9

[Axel Belinfante]

if I understand correctly, you cannot directly install on the X20
because it has no cd drive?

is it possible to copy the plan9 iso image onto your hard disk
(in a windows or linux partition or so) when it is in the pakock,
and then put the hard disk inside the IBM Thinkpad X20,
and then do the installation, using the image on the hard disk?

hmmm... then the problem becomes:
how to boot the X20 into the installation program
once the hard disk is again inside the X20...
does the X20 have a floppy,
or could a usb stick be used, or so?

sorry, turns out I have more questions than answers,
Axel.

Here's what you can do
1) make some space on your ibm hard drive ( few gigs is enough) with  
an empty partition say hda3
2) start up qemu like this
qemu -boot  c -cdrom plan9.img -hda
3) install plan 9 (if you want to keep linux then don't let it write  
to your mbr and use grub to boot)

booting from cf does work as long as it appears to be
an ata disk to the machine.  (it's how we boot machines.)

I think this is a different problem, Moritz doesn't even
get as far as the prompt.

Do you have a usb keyboard? I'am not sure the install CD supports USB
keyboards unless the bios is capable of making them appear like PS2 ones
(which many can).

Re: [9fans] Problem installing plan9

[Alexandr Babič]

i think my problem is same or very similar.
i have amd processor, ps2 keyboard and mouse.
i can also see something like moritz reported:

panic: kernel fault: no user process pc=0xf01aa887 addr=0x00000003
panic: kernel fault: no user process pc=0xf01aa887 addr=0x00000003

My suspicion is that the lack of a recconised southbridge is the problem,
a Viatech VT8237, any PCI experts out there know if this likely to work?

	{ 0x1106, 0x0586, viaget, viaset },	// Viatech 82C586
	{ 0x1106, 0x0596, viaget, viaset },	// Viatech 82C596
	{ 0x1106, 0x0686, viaget, viaset },	// Viatech 82C686
	{ 0x1106, 0x3227, viaget, viaset },	// Viatech VT8237

If so its just a matter of adding another line to pci.c:

	{ 0x1106, 0x3177, viaget, viaset },	// Viatech VT8235

Anyone in a position to build this guy another CD image with
this tiny change to a kernel (I am not at present)?

i have no problem in qemu emulator with running, so i try to install plan9
under qemu and then to run in PC.

maybe you can put older installation image on p9 website. THX.
