How do you mean? Should I boot from Lucho's thumb image or via usb cdrom? Since you quoted my first paragraph regarding Lucho's image, I booted from it. I don't have an lscpi, so I ran pciconf (FreeBSD) and I ran pci from the plan 9 bootup.
pciconf output here: www.queuevonqu.com/pciconf.html Plan9 pci command here: www.queuevonqu.com/9boot.jpg (I had to take this from my camera because I don't have another way of copying this output). I should point out too that i'm reasonably sure the Atheros card in this laptop is not supported; doesn't Lucho's image require and internet connection to install the distribution? Or can I also use the usb cdrom drive in this somehow? As I said, when I boot off the usb cdrom drive, I never get to the gui. :(
