[9fans] 9atom boot panic on Intel Desktop Board D410PT

[9fans] 9atom boot panic on Intel Desktop Board D410PT

[Sean Caron]

Hi all,

I picked up an Intel Desktop Board D410PT today with the intention of
using it
to run 9atom but I am finding that it panics on boot regardless of any
switches
I might set in the BIOS:


PBS1...Plan 9 from Bell Labs
ELCR: 0E00
pcirouting: South bridge 8086, 27BC not found
cpu0: 1668 MHz Atom loop 57601
apm ax=10 cx=14 dx=4150 di=1200 ebx=469 esi=0
found 16 e820 entries
panic: floppypos: zero geometry

Press almost any key to reset..


I am a little surprised because other NM10 chipset boards have been
reported to
work on the site, and even the Intel Desktop Board D510MO is rumored to
work,
which is a fairly close cousin of this D410PT.

Has anyone encountered this before or am I out of luck?

Best,

-Sean

Disable the floppy controller?

i'm guessing that you have a funny value in nvram.
it shouldn't be hard to fix.

i forgot the main bit!

disabling the floppy controller (if it has one)
won't help; the floppy controller is assumed
to exist.
