Re: [9fans] Plan9 and the real hardware

Many thanks for your answer.

I am sure there is a reason for sdiahci driver not in the install
kernel.

I would be happy to be able to use the normal plan9 distribution
because I am not sure what happens when I am using pull to update
an 9atom installation.

Is there a way to get the original plan9 running with this
motherboard? I tried to use Option 1 with the cpu kernel but
this does not works (cpu exit)
