[9fans] About a couple of ATI patches...

[Lorenzo Fernando Bivens de la Fuente]

Hey there

I sent about a week ago a couple of patches to enable an ATI Sata controller 
in 9load and the kernel. I have tested them locally and they are just a 
couple of "case" lines in sdata.c and pci.c.

The problem is that I cannot burn CDs now to make an installation disk and I 
cannot make a clean install in my computer.

Ok, ok... I did install Plan 9 on a real partition using qemu. That's how I 
made the patches and then I tried them real-booting the partition, but 
apparently fossil don't like moving from one disk ID to another... and I 
cannot boot Fossil (Qemu handles my disk as sdC0 and it is sdE0).

If anyone can take a look at those, they are:
 + 9load-sdata-ati
 + 9load-pci-ati
 + pci-ati
 + sdata-ati

Thanks!!!

what is the error message you're seeing?

the only issue i know of when moving a fs from one disk
to another is that you may need to remove the nobootprompt=
line from your plan9.ini.  i worked around this once with 9load
for something that needed to boot from either sd[CD]0with no
intervention.  it wasn't a pretty hack.
