Here's the hardware: AMD Athlon II X2 245 (64-bit dual core) Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H motherboard One 1.5Tb SATA hard drive, old IDE cdrom
The Plan 9 and 9atom liveCDs have the same problem: when the `root is from' prompt appears, nothing happens and the keyboard does not work. The keyboard is not usb and no usb devices are plugged in. Both liveCDs apparently have nomp set, as only one cpu is detected. I had to change the `boot from' option on the vanilla Plan 9 CD, because my motherboard/BIOS does not let me have IDE drives as secondary master. 9atom seemed to handle this better, but both get stuck at the `root is from' prompt. Someone suggested Plan9 may not like the southbridge on this motherboard (an AMD SB710). Any ideas? Thanks, Jorden
