Hello 9fans,
So I succeded in installing 9front on my Dell Mini 9 netbook.
It is mostly working:
* Graphics: Working VESA mode 800x600x32
* Networking: Internal network card works, internal wifi doesn't
work, but didn't expect it to.
* USB: boot from USB key works, USB mouse works.
For good measure here are the kernel messages at boot.
Below are some questions regarding these.
---------------------------------------

---------------------------------------
So here are my questions:
- The last two lines look strange (as if something is
broken). What do they mean?
- Can I expect audio to work? How do I verify that
audio is working?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Best Regards,
Alexander

it probablly means that it looks like you have a parallel printer port
to the software, but you don't and there is no interrupt vector for it.

please, do not post 9front questions to 9fans. post to
9front@googlegroups.com or ask in the irc channel.

this means that your mps tables do have the isa irq 7 entry,
so the parallel port driver will be unable to use interrupts.
it will probably still work with polling. do you even have
a parallel port? ;)
another thing you could do is try *acpi= in plan9.ini.
it will identity map all isa irq's to gsi 0-15 except for
the ones that have a special override entry in the apic
table, so all isa irq's should be there with that method.

this is your soundcard. to test if it works, you can just
cat some file into /dev/audio like:
cat /bin/* >/dev/audio
or if you have internet connection:
play http://9hal.ath.cx/usr/cinap_lenrek/plan9-jingle2.mp3

this looks like a generic plan 9 question to me. or is your
point to dilute the pool?

this is why you should not ask 9fans:

theres no games/mp3dec in 9front.

his point is that half the time someone brings up 9front here they get
bitched at and told to take it to the 9front list. stop with the
mccarthy shit; he's just trying to keep the noise down.

and this is why making stuff incompatabile for no benefit is not a good idea.
i think richard's pi work is really quite good stuff. there's nothing extra.
it's just a pi. the rest of us tend to fall in the trap of trying to change things
that are not relevant.
well. most of the rest. and i'm part of the most.

sorry. but he just asked how to test if audio works on his
9front installation and you giving him commands that will
not work on his machine.

Sorry for the noise. I wasn't aware that there was a separate 9front
mailing list. I will ask further questions there. FWIW audio works.
Thank you for your help,
Alexander
