Hello,
I have tried to install Plan9 on 3 PCs, 2 of the installs had different
problems with video chipset (both different versions of ATI Mach 64),
one PC did not boot ("incorrect boot syntax" - after showing some
scribbly characters first)
The 2 video cards observations:
1.
I got one of the ATI Mach 64's finally working, I ran "DOS debug" and
found the following MACH64 setting
0xC00E9="MACH64VTPCIU" # my Mach 64 on AMD
system
When I add it to "vgadb", the install works(at least as far as switching
to "rio"
Should stuff like this be send to 9trouble@plan9.bell-labs.com so they
can add it to the distribution?
2.
My other (newer) Mach 64 is recognized as "MACH64CTPCIU", but when
trying to start the vga, I get a message:
aux/vga: mach64xx: no linear aperture aux/vga:....
and later:
rio:54:suicide:trap:failure read addr=0x18 pc=0x00011e7e
I tried to play with the linear= setting in the vgadb, but no luck....
Milan

Yes!

I saw that also on a RAGE-128 card, but 3D RAGE PRO works fine..

Russ Cox from Bell Labs already added this.

Russ Cox fixed this (on my Mach64 but I suspect it may apply elsewhere)
- there is still a problem that the screen goes black after boot but I
think he is working on it.
