Hi,

Trying to boot build 1862 on my macbook with VT-x on or off gets this
far and no further:
Parallels(R) VGA-Compatible BIOS Versoin 1.05

Parallels(R) 2.2 Build 1862 (C) 2005-2006 Parallels Software

PBS1...Plan 9 from Bell Labs
ELCR: 0600
dev A0 port 1F0 config 0440 capabilities 0F00 mwdma 0407 udma 203F
dev B0 port 1F0 config 8580 capabilities 0A00 mwdma 0000 udma 0000
pcirouting: South bridge FFFF, FFFF not found

I tried it with plan9.iso of a couple of days ago and my install  
which works fine with
1848.

Cheers,

James

Worked ok for me... with VT-x on even.  Not sure what the difference is.

As I can now see from http://www.tip9ug.jp/who/leimy/parallels.html I  
should have disabled the audio. That fixes it.

Cheers,

James

Oh great!  That means tip9ug is back up I presume :-)

Anyone know how to simulate a middle click from a mac laptop with one
mouse button?

I really should get a little mouse to take with me on travel I guess.

[9fans] Plan 9 on Parallels for Mac

[arisawa]

Hello,

I tried to install plan9 to parallels for mac,
following the instruction: http://www.tip9ug.jp/who/leimy/parallels.html
However compiler rejects to compile

term% mk 'CONF=pcf'
...
configure: undefined: pcibussize in configure
mk: 8c -FVw '-DKERNDATE='`{date ...  : exit status=rc 10551: 8l  
10555: error
term%

I suspect the code has got old because:

term% cd /sys/src/9/pc
term% g pcibussize
devpccard.c:798:        pcibussize(cb->pci->bridge, &memlen,  
&iolen);   /* TO DO: need initial alignments */
devpccard.c:828: //     pcibussize(cb->pci->bridge, &membase,  
&iobase); /* now assign them */
fns.h:103: void pcibussize(Pcidev*, ulong*, ulong*);
pci.c:765: pcibussize(Pcidev *root, ulong *msize, ulong *iosize)
pci.c:883:              pcibussize(pciroot, &mema, &ioa);
term% ls -l pci.c
--rw-rw-r-- M 8 sys sys 26986 Oct 17 13:48 pci.c
term%

that is, current devpccard.c has pcibussize that is defined in pci.c
on the other hand, pci.c in parallels.tgz does not has the function.

term% pwd
/usr/arisawa/adm/sys/mbook/parallels
term% g pcibussize
term% ls -l pci.c
--rw-r--r-- M 8 arisawa arisawa 29053 Jun 12 03:47 pci.c
term%

The history of devpccard.c is as follows:

term% cd /sys/src/9/pc
term% history devpccard.c
Jul 19 04:20:55 JST 2006 devpccard.c 39299 [arisawa]
Apr 29 22:45:35 JST 2006 /n/dump/2006/1021/sys/src/9/pc/devpccard.c  
40443 [arisawa]

pcibussize is added on this month.

term% g pcibussize devpccard.c /n/dump/2006/1021/sys/src/9/pc/ 
devpccard.c
devpccard.c:798:        pcibussize(cb->pci->bridge, &memlen,  
&iolen);   /* TO DO: need initial alignments */
devpccard.c:828: //     pcibussize(cb->pci->bridge, &membase,  
&iobase); /* now assign them */
term%

I believe Parallels on MacBook is sufficiently fast for Plan 9,
because Win2000 runs comfortably.

I am grad if someone has fixed problem.

I had the same issue for a long time.

WFM: Delete the "devpccard" line from the links section in the
/sys/src/9/pc/pcf.

Agh! Sorry for not doing a clean reply.

Besides, I see you know the issues behind it far better than me. You
know how this is, I achieved to make it work (I run plan9 with network
at last) and wanted the world to know.

Sorry for the unwanted amount of noise produced in the list.

Over.
