[9fans] 9disk crashed on boot.

[James Carter]

it's taken me a little time to gather some compatible hardware, but i
tried to boot plan 9 last night on a newly aquired p100 system with 32
mb ram, a stealth 64 video vram gfx card and an smc wd80[01]3 nic. it
crashed after (sucessfully, i think) probing the video, with the
following output:

cpu0: spurious interrupt 39, last 0
aux/mouse: Unknown mouse type, giving up
panic: mmukmap2: pa 80000000 entry 63

i tried disabling the cache in the bios, which got rid of the spurious
interrupts, but it still crashed. i also tried removing the network
card to no affect.

i'm not sure why it can't see the mouse - i'm using a standard serial
mouse that plan.ini has been configured for. the same model (genius)
worked with 2nd edition...

does anyone have any ideas, before i mail 9trouble?

thanks.

The mouse isn't absolutely essential; I haven't verified this but
mine appears to be swapped com1 and com2, so I tried the other port
and it worked fine.  You can get through the entire unpacking of the
distribution without a mouse present -- it will report an error and
continue.

I brought Plan 9 up without an ethernet card present in the system,
no problem (even though plan9.ini says I have a card, since I expected
to have one handy when I d/l the boot floppy image).
