Vipul Ved Prakash <vipul@shell2.ba.best.com>:
I recently installed plan9 on a Pentium 75 Mhz machine, w/ 64 Mb RAM, Cirrus
Logic CLGD-5430 (pci) video card and Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B ethernet
adapter. I had to explicitly limit memory size with *maxmem statement in
plan9.ini and add a lib/vgadb entry for rio. Otherwise, the installation
proceeded normally.
Can you tell which chipset is on the motherboard?

since the instruction that causes the F00F problem is
an illegal combination, it doesn't seem very likely to me in this case.
it's more likely to be a software problem elsewhere.

Hi,
I recently installed plan9 on a Pentium 75 Mhz machine, w/ 64 Mb RAM, Cirrus
Logic CLGD-5430 (pci) video card and Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B ethernet
adapter. I had to explicitly limit memory size with *maxmem statement in
plan9.ini and add a lib/vgadb entry for rio. Otherwise, the installation
proceeded normally.
I have been playing around with this box with much gusto. However, every
once in a while, it freezes and has to be power-cycled. I have noticed this
happens when there is sustained network activity for a few hours, like a
remote ping. I am not sure if there is a co-relation though, as this might
have to do with the F00F bug in the Pentium processor on this machine. At
the moment, I don't have spare hardware to isolate the problem, so I am
hoping someone here can help me debug it.
best regards,
vipul.
