Subject: [9fans] 9load vs vista, momentus drives
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2009 20:46:14 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <979a1b61132e6a8d2a4576266cddc80b@quanstro.net> (raw)
since fgb is so cool, he let me debug on his back.
we found a couple of non-obvious problems on an
ich9r laptop with a segate momentus drive.
if you're dual-booting plan 9 with vista, it's a good idea to avoid
using a fat16 partition because vista will create a type 0xe
(fat16lba) partition, which the current 9load won't recognize.
contrib/9load-e820 will recognize that partition type.
also the momentus hard drive didn't send or the ich9r
didn't bother receiving the setdevicebits fis and 9load
didn't have a large enough stick to wack some sense into 'em.
now the original problem may still be my fault, but at least
we can get the drive back to reality.
in summary,
9load-e820: now with extra FAT and larger stick!
