I have an old Intel ALT/Server (dual pentium, 100MHz, EISA/PCI) that I would like to experiment with, never having seen Plan 9 on a multiprocessor before. I started with an old boot diskette, 3rd edition. Of course, things broke, so I made up a 4e boot diskette. 9load no longer recognised the elnk3 (3c905b-tx or very similar). I borrowed 9load from 3e, but now the kernel can't recognise the card. I don't have ID/VID at my fingertips, but I can find them with a bit of effort. The most recent change to etherelnk3.c was a consolidation of the reset code, so I presume the critical change predates 2003/12/15. What is it likely to be? term% history /sys/src/9/pc/etherelnk3.c Apr 11 20:01:17 SAT 2004 /sys/src/9/pc/etherelnk3.c 48724 [proxima] Apr 11 20:01:17 SAT 2004 /n/dump/2005/0530/sys/src/9/pc/etherelnk3.c 48724 [proxima] Dec 15 21:08:52 SAT 2003 /n/dump/2004/0411/sys/src/9/pc/etherelnk3.c 48521 [lucio] Should I try all possible options until I locate one that works? term% cd /n/sources/plan9/sys/src/9/pc term% history etherelnk3.c Apr 11 20:01:17 SAT 2004 etherelnk3.c 48724 [rsc] Apr 11 20:01:17 SAT 2004 /n/sourcesdump/2005/0530/plan9/sys/src/9/pc/etherelnk3.c 48724 [rsc] Dec 15 21:08:52 SAT 2003 /n/sourcesdump/2004/0411/plan9/sys/src/9/pc/etherelnk3.c 48521 [presotto] Sep 18 05:56:03 SAT 2003 /n/sourcesdump/2003/1215/plan9/sys/src/9/pc/etherelnk3.c 48522 [rsc] Jul 24 18:42:46 SAT 2003 /n/sourcesdump/2003/0917/plan9/sys/src/9/pc/etherelnk3.c 48481 [jmk] Jul 16 21:27:21 SAT 2002 /n/sourcesdump/2003/0724/plan9/sys/src/9/pc/etherelnk3.c 48003 [rsc] ++L PS: I actually have ether0=type=elnk3 in PLAN9.INI.
