Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 12:56:03 +0000 Topicbox-Message-UUID: cd35fe44-eaca-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025 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
