Hello,
The new 9atom iso fails for me the same.  But if you finish manually the
installation formatting and preparing the 9fat partition, the system boots right
(just as erik said).  Also, the annoying "cpu0:spurious interrupt" kernel message
is gone (with the iso's 9pcf and with a 9pccpuf compiled by me), so I spouse
the problem is in 9pccd.

Maybe this can be of any use for erik and the people working in 9load and Plan 9's kernel.
For now that is the only thing I can do, test and report... I hope in the future to be of more help.

When I have time I will try installing Plan 9 in the other machine that fails with PBSR...
(an old PentiumIII).

ah, so the issue is that 9load (on the default install cd) and the
non-mp kernel 9pccd have some sort of malfunction.  i'm glad you
tracked this down.

there is also the 9atom.nboot cd which uses iplpxe and not 9load.
there have been reports of issues with this install method, but it
might be worth a shot.  this install should support usb.

Yes, I noted a similar message:

	PBS...EI

(unless my memory fails me) even using the Bell Labs release on
VMware, so I reverted to the most recent bootable disk I could find.

I don't know when the problem started, it's been a long time since a
booted from a CD.

[trebol]

Hello everyone,
maybe this can be of interest to someone.

I have downloaded from 9legacy the old 9spirit iso (the newest uses bell's 9load, doesn't it?)
I have installed the system selecting a fat partition with bell's iso. All went right, and I reboot.

First thing happens:
MBR...PBS1...Bad format or I/O error

So I load the CD and disk/format the fat partition with 9load, pbslba and 9pf from the CD.

This board has 2 IDE ports and 2 SATA ports.  If I have one disk in SATA and other in master of first IDE, 9load of the official plan9
gets confused and can't load the kernel.  9load from the CD boots the kernel, but after 'root is from ...' the kernel crashes with

/boot/kfs does not exist

All this is about sdC0.  It's weird, because once the system is running (the CD) all the disk are recognized right. So first thing learned:
let the SATA disk and remove master of primary IDE, or let IDE and remove SATA.
(The official iso doesn't boot, no matter if I dance a tango or a bossa-nova with my disks)

Now I can boot with the kernel and 9load from the CD.
With CD's 9load and bell's 9pf, the system halt with /boot/kfs does ...

So I have official plan9 root with 9load, pbslba and 9pf from old 9spirit iso.

I know those are patches from erik, so the best would be use his new kernel, but the
cpu0:spurious interrupt ... is a little intimidating to an ignorant like me.

I will try his new iso, and thanks erik.

Regards,
trebol.

> "tail -f /dev/kprint"
I see, when kprint is open the log isn't sent to the console.  Also simply tail or cat /dev/kprint works fine.
I need to read more man pages...

But now I'm in my installation nightmare!

9atom installation doesn't work, when coping the distribution setting gid and uid fails and files are missing.
Can you mail a check sum? I have downloaded the iso twice, but maybe my connection is making a mess.

I also tried using 9atom to install the official iso (the installer is the same, doesn't it?), all goes fine
but on boot, after selecting the fossil partition:

/boot/kfs does not exists

I have tried putting the 9atom kernel in 9fat, but things get even worst.

Any help will be very appreciated.

Regards,
trebol.

you did install the correct image.  those are warnings, so it did not fail
to install.  but it did do a few things incorrectly.  i believe all those changes
were subsequently corrected by the updates.

i have just pushed out a new image which i hope will have corrected
this issue.

Thanks for the help erik, but that didn't work. cat finishes
and the console output keeps filling the screen making impossible the
installation.

Can I boot the official Plan9 with your bootloader?

i have tested this.  but my instructions might have been faulty.
i normally run this command on any terminal
i log into (including the redundant set of scrolling :-( ):

	window -m -hide -scroll rc -c 'echo scroll>/dev/wctl; label kmesg; tail -f /dev/kprint&'

if you have to type in the face of interrupts, you might need to cut that down to just
the "tail -f /dev/kprint"

yes.

Hello everyone,

I would like to install the official Plan9 distro but the boot process
stop at PBSR...EI.  This is a amd k8 machine, but before I tried in a old
pentium III with similar error.

Is this a pbs error, or is 9load who fails?

Also, I tried erik quanstrom's 9atom and boot but:

- If I select install, rio starts but there are a lots of
 	cpu0:spurious interrupt 39, last 14
- If I select boot from cd, the system crashes

Re: [9fans] PBSR...EI

[erik quanstrom]

you can work around this (i admit it's a hack) by
starting a new rio window, running "cat /dev/kmesg",
then hiding the window.  be sure to turn scroll on
before hiding.

i had a machine with this issue.  it appeared when we
switched from 9load to iplpxe.  one assumes this is
because something isn't fully reset, but i'm not sure
what just yet.

[9fans] PBSR...EI

[John Floren]

I've been trying to install Plan 9 on a previously-untried system.
When I put in the install disc and try to boot, I only see "PBSR...EI"
and then nothing else. I've seen this with the Bell Labs CD and both
9legacy images. I have an old 9atom disc that gets farther, booting
into the actual kernel and getting as far as printing out how much
memory is available and where it is allocated. I have not tried a more
recent 9atom disc yet because it takes too long to download.

Has anyone else run into this? Is it something to do with the new
bootloaders? I've seen it on several other motherboards lately and
don't remember ever seeing it when I last installed from CD (about 2
years ago).

fwiw, i never saw that with 9load.  if you don't mind downloading overnight,
there's a new 9atom.  i added cinap's aml interperter to the pc kernel.

I'm about an hour and a half into downloading 9atom, with about a half
hour to go. I'll probably be able to report on my progress tomorrow.

Have you ever considered hosting the iso on a faster server? It's kind
of harsh to wait 2 hours every time there's an update.

the server is willing, but the network is weak.  ☺

Ok, 9atom gets into the proper Plan 9 kernel but sticks at:

896M memory: 256M kernel data, 639M user, 0M swap

thanks for trying.  you can change boot vars from the keyboard.
e.g. (type everything but the tab)

	a *nomp=0
	a *nousbehci=

unfortunately that first one doesn't work, since mp isn't built
into that kernel.

a few questions:
-  what kind of machine is it?
-  do you happen to have a screenshot?  also,
-  does this machine have a ps2 keyboard or serial?  if so, does it respond
to keys or ^T^T sequences?


normally the easiest way to debug this is to pxe boot with
various printing junk in the kernel till you've found it.

Have you considered using torrent? I'd be happy to seed it and I'm sure
