Subject: [9fans] T21 boot failure after successful install
Date: Sat,  8 Apr 2006 11:24:55 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <509071940604080824j1c0097c3k2758d32daa480db3@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

i've recently acquired an IBM ThinkPad T21, which claims to be
supported, so of course i did the only sensible thing to do with such
kit: i installed plan 9 on it. the install went (seemingly)
flawlessly, but upon rebooting, things hang very early on, right after
this:

MBR...PBS...Plan 9 from Bell Labs
ELCR: 0800
apm ax=f000 cx=f000 dx=40 di=ffff ebx=43b3 esi=-1
dev A0 port 1F0 config 045A capabilities 0F00 mwdma 0007 udma 041F
dev A0 port 170 config 85C0 capabilities 0F00 mwdma 0007 udma 0407

the lines are reliably the same.

also, the freshly-installed 9fat partition has no plan9.ini in it.
that seems odd. i've tried creating one (based of the one in
/sys/lib/dist/pc/plan9.ini.cd, since the cd boot works just fine), but
that had no discernible effect. my thought was that something from the
plan9.ini would be making a difference (*nomp, maybe?), but that at
least seems not to be it.

all help greatly appreciated.
