Subject: [9fans] 9 Atom - installation troubles
Date: Fri,  5 Dec 2014 12:02:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <27c8d59d84a6af3fbd25b2ea02c70679@proxima.alt.za> (raw)

I started on my ESX (3.5i) platform, but that installs on SCSI drives
and I assume that these are not configured in the 9atom.iso image.

So I tried my fanciest (newest) motherboard, with a 500GB SATA drive.
Booting off USB suggests that the SATA controller is not recognised.
The PCI identification is Vendor 8086 (Intel) and, for some reason I
can't fathom, device 27df or 27c0.  The latter seems to require IRQ 11
(I only glimpsed at that).

Well, I guess I'll need to give 9 Atom a miss for a while.  I could
rebuild it on the Bell Labs distributions I use, but I suspect that
there will be many gotchas to overcome.

I'll gladly provide more info, if anyone feels like giving me some
advice.

Lucio.

PS: It's tempting to shove the drive in an external USB cabinet and
configure it that way.  Anyone who may know better must shout now :-)
