so, this evening, I ran /bin/date on a NIX Application Core (AC) for the first time in 14 years, on core 1 of my t420s. There are still issues, and work to do, but ... this was nice to see.
If you want to help, you can pull github.com:rminnich/9front, and do a rebase on my 9front branch to 9front tip of tree, see if it builds, and see if it boots. Feel free to submit a PR if you do that. My qemu command (from a script, hence the $*) qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel ~/Downloads/9pc64 -smp 4 -nographic -serial mon:stdio -cpu qemu64,+monitor -append console=0 -m 16384 $* Other help: identity good netboot x86 boxes, on which NIX will boot, that won't break my bank account. Sadly, I've not had time to figure out why my pc engines won't boot. I am pretty sure it's plan 9 not being happy with the coreboot RSDT, but ... who knows. BTW, should the T420s wifi run at 6 Mbps? that seems low. Thanks to Paul for breaking some things loose. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T77db1310be5d11a2-Me628caf1b5341ab005ccd282 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
