Ok. Remember to copy you compiled kernel to 9fat, and to update
your plan9.ini if needed.
9load doesn't boot kernels copied in /386 (at least when fossil is

The kernel you boot on doesn't have radeon support compiled in.
Could you send me your kernel configuration file ?

I still haven't fixed the bug I have with my radeon8500.
