I've tried booting on an iso I fetched yesterday, but 9load was not so happy about it; here's what it printed at boot (possibility of typoes not totally excluded): ELCR: 0C80 apm ax=f000 cx=f000 dx=40 di=ffff ebx=5d84 esi=-1 initial probe, to find plan9.ini... dev A0 port 1F0 config 0040 capabilities 2F00 mwdma 0007 udma 407F dev A0 port 170 config 85C0 capabilities 2F00 mwdma 0007 udma 0407 FLAGS=10282 TRAP=6 ECODE=0 PC=3 AX 00000000 BX 80815d78 CX 00000000 DX 800fdfc0 SI 00001022 DI 00000024 BP 0000746b CS 0010 DS 0008 ES 0008 FS 0008 GS 0008 CR0 80000011 CR2 0000000 CR3 0000c000 panic: exception/interrupt 6 Erik said I should try with a 9load from may 2007 or earlier, so I was wondering if anyone of you had one handy, or if there's a way to obtain one easily (mounting an old snapshot?)? Or any other suggestion to have the iso booting a bit further? Also do you think there's any chance I can have plan9 working on this machine or are there any other incompatibilities I have not yet discovered? (I know about the unsupported broadcom NICs, but that should be fixable by plugging another NIC). Am I simply better off installing Linux with inferno on top of it? Any other suggestion? Here's more information about the machine (and the output of lspci -vn is attached): http://www.amdboard.com/ibm_eserver_325_specifications.html Thanks, Mathieu. --upas-mkrsnkdcwadhqrfdgqrxyfyxyz Content-Disposition: inline Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit 00:06.0 Class 0604: 1022:7460 (rev 07) Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 115 Bus: primary=00, secondary=01, subordinate=01, sec-latency=68 I/O behind bridge: 00002000-00002fff Memory behind bridge: fc100000-fdffffff Capabilities: [c0] #08 [0086] Capabilities: [f0] #08 [8000] 00:07.0 Class 0601: 1022:7468 (rev 05) Subsystem: 1022:7468 Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 0 00:07.1 Class 0101: 1022:7469 (rev 03) (prog-if 8a [Master SecP PriP]) Subsystem: 1014:7469 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64 I/O ports at 1020 [size=16] 00:07.2 Class 0c05: 1022:746a (rev 02) Subsystem: 1014:746a Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 255 I/O ports at 1000 [size=32] 00:07.3 Class 0680: 1022:746b (rev 05) Subsystem: 1014:746b Flags: medium devsel 00:0a.0 Class 0604: 1022:7450 (rev 12) Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 64 Bus: primary=00, secondary=02, subordinate=02, sec-latency=64 Memory behind bridge: fe000000-fe0fffff Capabilities: [a0] PCI-X non-bridge device.
