I just played with an Eee PC for a few minutes. So the Eee PC's southbridge is not supported by 9load or the kernel. See /sys/src/boot/pc/pci.c and /sys/src/9/pc/pci.c for the southbridges list.
I'm not sure how to boot Plan 9 without a CD-ROM drive, so I used dd to copy the ISO's bootdisk.img onto a USB stick. I was able to reproduce your error. Then I opened 9load in a hex editor and changed the 0x8086 0x2640 southbridge entry to 0x8086 0x2641. Here's the result: PBS1...Plan 9 from Bell Labs ELCR: 0C28 apm ax=f000 cx=f000 dx=40 di=100 ebx=ef50 esi=ffff initial probe, to find plan9.ini...dev A0 port 170 config 044A capabilities 0300 mwdma 0007 udma 101F pcirouting: 8086/2653 at pin 2 irq 5 pcirouting: 8086/266A at pin 2 irq 5 Boot devices: fd0 sdD0!dos boot from: (Note I tried recompiling 9load properly instead of hex editing, but got hangs and resets) I have disabled all devices except USB in the BIOS and set "OS Installation" to "Start". I am stuck at this point because I have not been able to tell 9load to boot 9pccd.gz.
