[9fans] fs(3) problem (kernel)

[9fans] fs(3) problem (kernel)

[Artur Meski]

I'm  trying to  setup a  mirror as  described in  "Setting  up Fossil"
(section:  USING A  MIRROR WITH  FOSSIL).  Because there  is no  fs(3)
compiled  into the  kernel by  default I  added it  ('fs') to  a 'dev'
section and built a new kernel. I get panic when booting up using this
kernel.

Any help appreciated,
Artur

I'd try first to configure the fs(3) on a working system.
Then try again.

Pull a new devfs.c from sources to stop the panic.

That'd make a good t-shirt:

Front:

   STOP THE PANIC!

Back:

  Pull a new devfs.c
    from sources

I tried with and without it. Same result. I would like to boot plan 9
with fs(3) compiled into the kernel to perform steps described in
"setting up fossil".

you don't need devfs for setting up fossil, but that's not the issue...

do you have a serial cable?  if you do, you can plug that in to try
and grab more of the panic output (the part that scrolls off the
screen is the most important, as usual)...

If you boot without starting fs at boot time, can you setup it
by hand once the system is up?

Before you start hooking up serial cables, download the
new devfs.c from sources.  I'm sure it fixes your problem.
I ran into this a month ago.  The error stack when you
get to this is big enough that it scrolls way off the screen.

I tried. You can see the result at http://apm.cifrid.net/p9p/patched/.

looks like it fixed your problem.
if you echo hwaccel off >/dev/vgactl
your "idle stat" messages will go away.
we apparently don't know how to talk
to your card the right way to do
accelerated ops.

you want to put the echo into termrc or cpurc
right after the line that runs aux/vga.

What's the panic message?
