I got fed up waiting for Uriel to release his 9load replacement
so I had to go back in and hack 9load for this. It was mostly just
drift in the CardBus and 3Com drivers. I've tested this on a T23 with
a 3Com/Megahertz 3CCFE575BT so your mileage may vary. I think it
will fix the T21 with internal 3Com MiniPCI problem too.
New 9load code should be on sources.

Has this made it into the CD image? I downloaded the CD yesterday and
installed on a PIII that I'm resurrecting at home, I can boot and
install from the CD (installed to a single 2G partition on a 6G disk,
fossil only), but when it comes to booting from the plan9 partition it
hangs after displaying:
ether#0: elnk3: port: 0x300 irq: 5 ...
#l0: status 0xFFFF, diag 0xFFFF
It will boot from the plan9 partition if the 3com card is removed.

Apparently not. My apologies. It got into the floppy and CD boot
image but not the CD file system. I just put the new 9load on sources
and it will be on the CD image tomorrow. You should be able to
boot today's CD, draw a window, and run
9fs sources
9fat:
cp /n/sources/plan9/386/9load /n/9fat/9load
unmount /n/9fat
and then reboot.

Unfortunately the newer 9load doesn't make any difference on this box.
The exact same hang, just after printing "#l0: status 0xFFFF, diag 0xFFFF"

Try copying /386/9loadlite instead of /386/9load.
That omits all the ethernet drivers from 9load.
You don't need them anyway since you're booting
from a local disk.

i have some other pcmcia/cardbus changes in the pipeline
that might make a difference, but not quite finished. what
type of system and pcmcia/cardbus controller was it again?

Sorry if I've caused confusion, it is a PCI bus elnk3, not a PCMCIA
card. I'd responded to this thread since the problem appeared to be
with 9load and all 3com cards, not just the pcmcia variants.
9load identifies as: ether#0: elnk3: port: 0x300 irq: 5 ...
Machine is a PIII, 512M RAM, Award v4.51PG BIOS, Velocity 4400 video card.

After this thread started I dug out a PCI 3Com card first to check
that worked OK before I started to look at the PCcard issues, and it did.
Of course, I may have used a different model to yours so if you can
get a PCI device listing (*pcihinv=1 in plan9.ini if you can't boot the
system enough to run /bin/pci). It's odd that a PCI card would have an
address at 0x300, that smacks of the card not being identified correctly
somehow.

Very embarrassed silence...
Ah, having just pulled the cover back off the PC and crawled around to
have a look, it is *not* a PCI card. Its an old 3c509 EtherLink III.
Even with ether0=elnk3 and *noetherprobe in plan9.ini it still hangs
when booting from the hard disk if the 3com card is plugged in, but will
boot ok with no ethernet card. Or, I can boot off the install CD from
the 26th and use the network.

9loadlite runs and doesn't hang, but only offers to boot from fd0.
Disk sdC0 is nowhere to be seen.

Recent 3Com, or the 9load problem with at least the early (10MHz)
adapters? The latter is easily bypassed, the kernel driver is OK.

Has anyone worked on making the cards on the subject line work with Plan 9?
I'm trying to install Plan 9 on a Micron Transport ZX and everything else
seems to be working fine except for the ethernet.
