i think the suggestion to take the cdrom out of your vm profile is the right
one. i think access of the cdrom drive is the problem. once you get things going, i do have
a patch that might work for you if you still need the cdrom. i haven't tried
it since i don't run vmware.

I would love to try the patch. And I'm still baffled as to why the
installer works but the standard kernels don't.
Peace

if this doesn't fix the problem, i'll see if i can't do a vmware install and
see what the problem is.

Hello all,
I left a hung install shut off in VMWare Server for 1 week and came
back to it and it booted up. I am in the process of trying to repeat
this finding. But, my thoughts are that it has something to do with
file timestamps. Could that possibly ring a bell for anyone? I was
also led to thinking it had something to do with the xga startup. I
was thinking that after installation and reboot, if I boot from CD and
remount the fossil partition then I could see what else in the boot
sequence could be occurring. .... or, I'll just shut up and wait to
hear what you guys figure out....

Hi Rodolfo,
I tried this but init still hangs...
I'd like to try Eric's patch, but I need a little hand-holding. What are the
steps to mount my fossil partition, apply the patch, compile and install?
TAL,
Ralph

That was my thought too.
While on the subject, anybody tried to install on a Free ESXi server?
My attempts fall apart as early as 9load. The IDE line is printed, then
nothing happens.

Thanks Eric. Now I need to try to find the errant code, but I can't connect a
debugger at this point. What else can I do to diagnose the problem?

Hi 9fans!
I downloaded the ISO image dated 18 Sep 2008. The live CD worked beautifully,
so I decided to install under VMWare Workstation 6. Well done to the guys who
did the new(ish?) installer, IMHO it's a big improvement over the old one.
Anyway, after installing and rebooting, the kernel gets as far as running
init, which prints out
init: starting /bin/rc
and then hangs. I've taken a look at /sys/src/cmd/init.c and found that
this line gets printed from the following code near the bottom of main:
for(;;){
print("\ninit: starting /bin/rc\n");
fexec(rcexec);
manual = 1;
cmd = 0;
sleep(1000);
}
What could have gone wrong? If exec had failed, an error message would have
been printed. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps /bin/rc is an
invalid image.
Is there a core dump file I can examine to find out what's going wrong? I'm
a noob, so please, put away the lighter and help me out :)
TIA,
Ralph
