Yeah, I installed from the CD. But that image is for amd64, correct? a 64
bit processor? My junk computer is an old gateway, with a celeron D, a
whopping 256 MB of ram, and a full 100 GB hard disk space. But since this
is 32 bit to my knowledge, would a possible solution involve making a
bootable flash disk from this distribution within my installation?

either 32 or 64 bit kernels can be built from the usb image.

well, autocorrect ftw! that was supposed to say, both the 32- and 64-bit
kernels can be /booted/ from the usb image, so your hardware should be
fine.

your mp tables are fucked, boot with "*acpi=" boot parameter. see the
fqa how to get to the > prompt to enter it.

i don't see any confirmation, but it looks like the install was from the cd image?
if so, i recommend using the usb install image instead
http://ftp.9atom.org/other/usbinstamd64.bz2
this *should* fix all those issues. posting a few details on the processor might
be helpful in figuring out any issues.

Hello everyone!
After obtaining a disk drive for an old PC I've had for a little while, I
was overjoyed to turn it into a dedicated 9 machine. I realized could have
a second server as part of my 9junk grid! However, it seems the original
site from bell labs is down, and that since 9front apparently can't find a
bootstrap processor, so I decided to give 9atom a try. It installed
successfully, minus this "spurious interrupt 39" message everywhere.
However, there seems to be an issue using the mouse. It's just a generic
black dell USB mouse. Whenever I right click to open a window (or use the
menu at all), it seems as if it detects the release much too early, and
doesn't always give me time to choose the correct option. Before I go out
to buy a new mouse (which I don't mind at all, considering money is no
object for my love for 9), is there anything I can write into a config file
of some sort, or edit and recompile in a driver?
Thanks for your help and/or any advice you can offer. Long live Plan 9!
