Subject: [9fans] no luck for plan9 on compaq deskpro 2000?
Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 12:56:03 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cf58ju4s5pdbm29uu0kulajkr1osofolp8@4ax.com> (raw)

I tried installing plan9 on an old Compaq Deskpro 2000. The first
problem was easily solved. Even though plan9 supports the Cirrus Logic
GD 5436 the integrated graphics adapter didn't get recognized. After
entering the vendor id and device id into the vgadb (vid=0x1013
did=0x00ac) I got the setup running smoothly. Until I encountered the
"no physical memory" problem. I read the FAQ about this problem and
tried to fiddle with some settings in the computer setup (those
machines don't have a built in bios setup. You have to boot a setup
diskette) but couldn't solve this problem.

Is there any chance to get Plan9 working on this machine? (I've got 4
identical machines which would be a nice cluster)

Cheers
Martin
