I've had problems with 9atom when setting any resolution above the default, 1024x768x16 for example renders a black screen with several glitched colours. All the Plan 9 based software just seems to dislike my Thinkpad.

my experience is that ahci works better.  so if you're having
i/o errors with a sata device, it is often power mangement.

if you wanna try ahci on 9atom, that might be worth a shot.
many of the power management fixes weren't picked up.
