Subject: disk errors on booting, but not install
Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2012 23:58:49 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120611235849.052d8fab@inari.ethans.dre.am> (raw)

machine is an x61, this is the first time I'm running it without ide emulation.

using the latest iso, it installed ok, mounting cwfs and running mkfs all went as expected, but it has problems on boot. there are two problems, they may be related or separate, not sure. it's been tried with 9pcf and 9pccpuf on-disk, and 9pcf on iso (actually usb, but i used the kernel from the iso).

problem 1: if it loads the kernel from the hdd it complains about the disk, giving multiple "bad disk" errors (sometimes filling the screen) and repeatedly reporting the disk name. if it loads the kernel from usb it doesn't give these errors. same kernel, the only difference is where it's loaded from.

problem 2: if i tell it to use the installed cwfs root it just re-prompts for bootargs. i think it also says the partition doesn't exist (like "/dev/sdE0/other doesn't exist"), but i failed to actually make a note of which conditions cause that message. also if the kernel is 9pccpuf it re-prompts for nvram data every time it wants the bootargs.

This is obviously some strange usage of the 
word "simple" that I was previously unaware of.
