I just tried the 9atom 9pxeload with my Thinkpad X200s, and indeed the ethernet card works enough for the loader to pull the kernel.
The kernel, then, is a 9pc terminal, compiled with IL support so that I can communicate with Ken FS. I get to the "root is from (tcp, il)[il]:" prompt, with a message above saying, "pcirouting: Cannot find south bridge PCI.255.31.7" (if that's relevant for the following), and so I proceed by hitting enter, accepting the IL preference. Lots of stuff passes by quickly, to where the top of the screen reads, "does not exist: panic: boot process died: unknown panic: boot process died: unknown dumpstack ktrace /kernel/path f0108cbe f004d308 estackx f004d5c0" and kernel dump follows. Sadly, everything before that scrolls by too quickly for me to get a read. Ideas? Perhaps I should try the 9atom kernel? I would, but I need IL support - is there any way to compile that in?
