I've tried to install Plan 9 on a 64 bit Windows 7 using Virtual PC, since I've read that a related bug was fixed and noone tried it. Actually, after the fourth tentative (after creating a fossil partition a bit smaller than the fixed size hd) I got rc starting by logging with the glenda user. BUT, after the rio start I got the attached error. I'll use QEMU as I read it should work, but I hope this feedback could help.

I suppose I've done it right, but I'm not sure. A similar procedure worked on QEMU, but it's by far slower. If you managed to get a Plan9 working Microsoft Virtual PC please tell me the procedure you used, the hd settings, the partitions and how you configured the mbr... Thanks a lot!

I just did everything with the default settings, which made me wonder. I tried it out on a couple other machines, with varying success. Certain machines worked fine, others had issues. I'm not sure why it varies. > > Thanks a lot! > > > Giacomo > > > > On Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 4:46 PM, Patrick Kelly > <kameo76890@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Jan 29, 2010, at 6:44 AM, Giacomo Tesio wrote: > > Hello 9fans! > > I've tried to install Plan 9 on a 64 bit Windows 7 using Virtual PC, > since I've read that a related bug was fixed and noone tried it. > I just announced it worked like 2 weeks ago. > > > Actually, after the fourth tentative (after creating a fossil > partition a bit smaller than the fixed size hd) I got rc starting by > logging with the glenda user. > > BUT, after the rio start I got the attached error. > I never had any problems starting up Plan 9 with rio, heck I never > had any trouble at all.
