It worked for me to. Looks like the dig command ignores the search domain
in resolv.conf.


; dig cab +short
; nslookup cab
..
Name:   cab.mteege.de
Address: 10.8.47.11

Many thanks

Ah great!
add one to lunix quirks, shouldn't it be the system that resolves names? This 
is pretty weird :-)
Cheers!

every system that uses bind 9 has the same behavior.  however bind's
Old Standard, nslookup, does not ignore resolv.conf.

[9fans] Installing Plan 9 on a ICH9 SATA controller.

2008-03-29 Thread Armando Camarero

Hi,

I've tried to install Plan 9 on my new computer and I'm having trouble 
with the SATA controller.


If I have AHCI mode enabled in BIOS:
- Booting the install CD only gets to:
   PBS1...Bad format or I/O error

- Booting using a floppy:
   9load seems to load fine, and it even detects the SATA controller 
printing

   sdiahci: drive 0 in state ready after 0 resets
   (it does the same for drive 1, wich should be the DVD drive).

But it only lists fd0 as valid boot source.

Following advice from people in #plan9 I disabled AHCI mode and went for 
legacy mode:
- Install CD booted fine. I could even partition the hard disk. But it 
can't copy files as it begins throwing lots of I/O errrors while copying 
files. I tried with DMA enabled and disabled.


I switched back to AHCI mode and tried booting the floppy again. Now it 
shows fd0 and sdE0!9fat as boot devices (9fat partiton is empty, so I 
can't boot). It seems in AHCI mode it can access hard disk just fine, 
but it can't access the DVD drive.


Both hard disk and DVD drive are connected via SATA to the ICH9 controller.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
Armando.

Has you try to put the sata controller in legacy pata or something like? 
I had the same problem with my Linux and I changed to pata and all works 
fine. The AHCI mode do not run with me.

Re: [9fans] Installing Plan 9 on a ICH9 SATA controller.

it would be useful if you could send the output of lspci to me offline.
there are many models of ich9.  not all of them have the same properties.

i do have an ich9r controller:

0.31.2: 01.06.01 8086/2922  10 0:1c51 16 1:1c45 16 2:1c49 16 
3:1c41 16 4:18e1 32 5:d8d01000 2048

which works with some cavets.  hot plugging does not work and if
ports are skipped, drives after the skip are not accessable.

don't know.  pbs uses bios to do i/o.

that's normal.

i'd guess no suitable partition was found.

it sounds like you have either a bad drive or a cable problem.  i
would replace the sata cable first.  it is also possible that you are
having a problem with power management.  but i don't know how to tell
if you're using the ide interface.

make sure they are connected to ports 0 and 1 of the controller.
(either order.)
