Hi Everybody, I try to install our favourite operating system on an Acer emachines E525 laptop. Installation succeeded with Erik's 9atom.iso, but I cannot boot. Here is the whole story:
- 1. Plan 9 install CD (of Aug. 15): PBS1... Plan 9 from Bell Labs ELCR: 0C00 pcirouting: South Bridge 8086, 2919 not found ...aaaand hangup both in IDE and AHCI mode. not even Ctrl+Alt+Del works. I suspect the buggy BIOS, but both Ubuntu 9.04 and WinXP worked (the latter only in IDE mode). - 2. Erik's 9atom.iso (of Aug. 16 22:13 PM) in IDE mode: PBS1... Plan 9 from Bell Labs ELCR: 0C00 sdata: blind probe 1f0 sdata: blind probe 170 aoepnp(nil) found 54 e820 entries Boot devices: fd0 boot from: ...aaaand nothing is accepted, CD is probably not recognized (I tried the usual combinations). - 3. Erik's 9atom.iso in AHCI mode works! hard drive is sdE0, CD is sdE1, bad process or channel control request: "dma on", touchpad is ps2 mouse, vga works with 1024x768x32, installation successful. -4. trying to boot, after I log in as glenda, fossil says repeatedly: out of physical memory, no swap configured RAM is 2 GB, partition is 2 GB, i selected fossil only, i accepted the default in prepdisk (i admit, i didnt look at it carefully, but it was never a problem before). Any suggestions? Greetings: Béla
