Topicbox-Message-UUID: 826167b4-ead4-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 Hello all - I recently added a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card to the array of crutches my old laptop uses ... and have found that when I attempt to log on to my Plan 9 install, booting hangs with the following line #U/usb0: uhci: port 0xBF80 irq 11 ... if I leave the card (and by association what is plugged into the card) plugged in). If I remove the card, no problem. But I often forget to remove the card when I boot so was wondering what sort of problem I have here and whether there is another way 'round it. I am very slowly working my way into being able to actually do things in Plan 9. :) It is like a blast of cold air on my age-ing brain, so that's a good thing, I think. One other note which I am loath to post but I have searched the 9fans list and cannot find whatever resource/message I may have used before ... graphics seem extremely sluggish on this box. IIRC I was told to adjust the value of "dmamode" in plan9.ini ... but that may be incorrect, and I have adjusted that value to "off" with little or no change. In short things seem to re-paint quite slowly. This is on an old (ca 2001) Dell laptop (Inspiron 4100, 997mHz PIII). I recall either posting about this before or getting help from some other venue, but (all too obviously) I didn't keep adequate notes. Thanks for any pointers, Glenn +-----------------------------------------------------+ Glenn Becker - burningc@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org +-----------------------------------------------------+
