Hi, all
A synthesis of 1 week of attempts.
A fresh Dell 3010, AHCI, several fresh USB keys. Bell's, 9Atom and
9Front don'install.
usbinstamd64: several issues, as already documented in another thread.
An additional note: a persistent "addpart: #S/sdE0: i/o error" message.
9Atom cd downloaded on February, 5: rio install starts as usual, all ok
till the fdisk-w .
No useful messages. Only a generic warn (on rio window) and a console
display
of the disk identification data. Then all stops having no Plan9
partition to install on.
Trying on an pre-partitioned disk (by 9Front) the same problem arises in
prepdisk,
after the q cmd (not w+q). Same messages.
So 9Atom seems to have problems with usb and AHCI, but only in writing
the partion. VGA ok.
Bell's usbdisk download yesterday: hangs after a few messages. I can
send video snapshots
to anyone interested. Let me know.
Bell's cd downloaded on Feb, 5: rio install starts as usual but the disk
is not detected at all.
9Front cd downloaded on Feb, 9: boots ok but doesn'configure the VGA.
So text mode, all default choices. I/O error(s) when reaming the filesystem.
Partisk and prepdisk ok. Video snapshots available, let me know.
Hoping this could be useful.

okay. if you have a chance, with the 9atom cd that boots to rio,
can you try dd'ing from the /dev/sdE? you can just open a new window
in the installer.
; ramfs
; dd -if /dev/sdE?/data -of /tmp -count 100 &&
dd -if /tmp -of /dev/sdE?/data -count 100
also the output of
; cat /dev/sdE?/ctl
and
; pci
and
; cat /dev/irqalloc
would be helpful.

Additional info:
Some noisy "cpu0: spuriuos interrupt 39, last12 (and last 1)".
cat /dev/kprint in a hidden win to have clean pictures.

FreeBSD 9.0 installs. Could its boot log be useful ?

thanks. this confirms that the issue appears to be that you have a 4k sector drive.
i think i have this fixed. the .iso is updated. give me a few hrs to
rebuild my environment (and fight the usual fires) so i can generate
and test a new image. further image generation should be quick.
