Re: [9fans] install kernel fails to find hard disk

[John Stalker]

The relevant part of the output of scanpci is

pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x1f function 0x02: vendor 0x8086 device 0x24d1
 Intel Corp. 82801EB (ICH5) SATA Controller

The vendor id matches, but the value in sdata.c is 0x24DB.  It seems
geoff is right.  I can try to build a new kernel on another machine
to test this.  Is there an rc script or mkfile to build an install
iso, or do I have to do everything by hand?

I tried adding 0x24D1 in sdata.c, recompiling cddisk, burning an
install disk, and booting from it.  Possibly I screwed something
up, but I still don't see sdC0.  Is there something else I should
try, or should I give up and run it as domU in xen?

[geoff]

It sounds like you've done the right thing (though I haven't tried
rebuilding the install machinery).  I don't think you should have to
make a similar change to /sys/src/boot/pc/sdata.c until the
installation is done.

Perhaps your SATA controller isn't recognised by Plan 9?  sdata.c
contains

		case (0x24DB<<16)|0x8086:	/* 82801EB (ICH5) */

but perhaps yours has a different did (device id)?  What's lspci (or
equivalent on netbsd) list as vid & did for it?

I just tried to install plan9 on a machine at work.  At partdisk
it tells me

No mention of the hard disk.  Typing sdC0 at the prompt doesn't help.
Neither does turning off DMA.
