Subject: [9fans] Unable to install Plan9 on IBM PC300PL
Date: Wed, 22 May 2002 08:52:44 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <84adqsfz6j.fsf@smtp.monash.edu.au> (raw)
Maybe it's just not meant to be. After being unable to install Plan9
on an IBM Thinkpad T21, I've tried several times to install it to the
only other available machine, an IBM 300PL.
Adding the '0xC004B="S3 86C366 Video BIOS"' to VGADB gets it to boot
into graphics mode, albeit with the mouse pointer as a normal pointer
accompanied by a 1" square of random pixels.
I've gone step by step through the install up to creating the boot
floppy.
Attempting to boot off the boot floppies that it creates gives me the
error message "panic: exception/interrupt 6"
I've rebooted off the install floppy and told it to boot directly off
the partition, with the same result.
Where to now, or are IBM machines allergic to plan9?
Adrian
