Hi,

Sorry if this is a dup, I have tried to post via Google Groups, but
the message did not show up.

This was discussed about a year ago. I ran into the same problem. I
followed the advice to recompile ape. Recompilation was without errors
or crashes, but gave no effect: I still see the same

$ uname
/bin/sh: uname: cannot execute - Access denied

from the ape shell.

I use a Plan9 iso image http://www.kix.in/plan9/plan9.iso.bz2 as a
root fiesystem for 9vx (I extracted all files from it and made them
writable).

What I am running:

9vx.Linux 0.12 from the pre-built snapshot

on top of

[dima@archgui 9vx-0.12-iso]$ uname -a
Linux archgui 2.6.27-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Dec 21 09:31:10 UTC 2008
i686 QEMU Virtual CPU version 0.9.1 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

(that is, a KVM guest)

and the physical host for KVM is

dima@www:~$ uname -a
Linux www 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 20:53:41 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

(Ubuntu Intrepid)

Has anybody encountered the same problem recently? I saw no posts on
this mailing list on the topic since the original discussion.

Or, is there any other known image of Plan9 root filesystem which does
not have the same problem with 9vx?

Thanks for any ideas.
