I also have a Riva TNT which stopped being recognized after I did a
pull and recompiled my kernel sometime last month.
But the install floppy always recognized it and brought it up into rio
just fine; it was the stuff installed to the harddrive that failed.
I downloaded the experimental floppy and tried it out just now -- I
don't think it ever got to the part where it runs aux/vga:
1262958 => 744660|1113032+83740=1941432
entry: 80100020
cpu0: 401MHz AuthenticAMD AMD-K6_III (cpuid: AX 0x0591 DX 0x8021BF)
ELCR: 0A00
#l0: rtl8139: 100Mbps port 0xE800 irq 9: 00904703FA06
19313 free pages, 77252K bytes, 309252K swap
boot: can't connect to file server: '/bzroot' file does not exist
panic: boot process died: unknown
cpu0: exiting
Where there changes made to vga in May or early June ? I think
something in Plan 9 changed in that period that made the nvidia not
work from a clean install.
