[9fans] Problem booting a standalone cpu/auth server after pull

[Robby]

Hi,

I have recently (last week) updated my distribution via pull. I wasn't
sure if I need to rebuild my standalone cpu/auth kernel, so I went ahead
and did that. The only change in my CONF file was the addition of the
bootdir section. Everything built fine, I copied the kernel into /386 and
/n/9fat, updated my /n/9fat/plan9.ini to allow me to boot the new kernel,
and on rebooting it hangs after the following:

....Plan9 from Bell Labs
ELCR: 0C00
dev A0 port 1F0 config 0C5A capabilities 0B00 mwdma 0407 udma 0007
dev B0 port 1F0 config 045A capabilities 2B00 mwdma 0407 udma 003F
dev A0 port 1F0 config 85C0 capabilities 0F00 mwdma 0203
using sdC0!9fat!plan9.ini
..  [-rtr: choose my new kernel]
found /386/9mypccpuauth

I am probably missing out something somewhere. Any help is appreciated.


My plan9.ini looks like this:
[menu]
menuitem=cpuauth, Standalone CPU Authentication Server
menuitem=cpuauthold, Old Standalone CPU Authentication Server
menuitem=term, Terminal
menudefault=cpuauth, 10

[cpuauth]
bootfile=sdC0!fs!/386/9mypccpuauth

[cpuauthold]
bootfile=sdC0!fs!/386/9mypccpuauth.old

[term]
bootfile=sdC0!fs!/386/9pcdisk

[common]
bootdisk=local!#S/sdC0/fs
*nomp=1
distname=plan9
partition=new
ether0=type=elnk3
                            
mouseport=ps2
monitor=multisync
vgasize=1280x1024x8

And my mypccpuauth CONF file is this:

Try disabling hw pieces from the bios before booting.
Perhaps same ctlr is hanging up.
