> Any suggestion now? i'd guess the vlong divide-by-zero is caused by a sector size of 0 somewhere in the kernel. but that's a wild guess. hard to grep for that easily. try unplugging your cdrom.
boot the cd. use it to edit your plan9.ini. set "*nodumpstack=0". set "*idemaxio=64". you might also consider either turning on ahci mode in bios, or setting "*sdXXdma=on". where XX is your drive letter. - erik
