Greetings,
I'm new to Plan 9. I just downloaded plan9.ios.bz2 to try it out. I
can boot it and run rio, but I'm having a few hardware detection and/or
configuration problems.
I have a mother board with four IDE ports, two ATA-66 ports on a VIA
KX133 chipset and two ATA-100 ports on a HPT370 chip on the PCI buss. I
wanted to install Plan 9 on the primary drive of IDE-3, but the two
drives on the HPT370 chip are not detected. I was able to install and
boot Plan 9 by recabling the disk to the primary master slot (sdC0). I
know the HPT370 is not on the officially supported hardware list, but I
thought the drives would at least be detected and maybe work in PIO mode.
Also, I don't think my ethernet card is being detected because there is
no /net/ether0 file. The boot loader prints a line for ether0 with a
port number and IRQ, but after loading the kernel there are no
additional ether0 messages. It is a Netgear FA312, which is mentioned
in the supported hardware list.
It does seem to detect the USB ports and ISA sound card.
Is there some trick I'm missing or am I just out of luck?
Thanks for any tips!
Richard Powell
