I somehow, managed to install Plan 9 with the help of QEMU on a Lenovo
machine, because 9load did not recognize DVD-RW on SATA bus, which
indeed is configured in IDE Mode --

Though, I'm not an expert kernel programmer, but I shall be happy to
follow leads and, or pointers on making this work.
I think, I need to add some quirks in /sys/src/boot/pc/sd{ata|bios}.c
and /sys/src/9/pc/sdata.c as well. I however, am wondering, where the
/sys/src/9/pc/sdbios.c is?

[9fans] persuade contrib/install to work
Hello, since I somehow still can't connect to the 'central sources' and want to make some progress, I tried to follow some of your recent advices. Instead of '9fs sources' I do 9fs sources.lsub.org cd /n bind sources.lsub.org/sources sources so now it seems I have the state similar to after just '9fs sources'. Now I'd like to do e.g. contrib/install fgb/xml2 but I get srv: timeout establishing connection to tcp!sources.cs.bell-labs.com!9fs so as if contrib still wants to connect to the central sources... How can I persuade contrib/install to use what I've already had under /n/sources? Thanks Ruda
[9fans] Last Call: IBM Internship Opportunities
I'm starting the selection process for a 6 month intern position working on Plan 9 technology for the DOE project (details at http://www.research.ibm.com/hare). The 6 months would have to be between Sept of this year and August of next. Graduate students or post graduates preferred. You'll need a strong background in C programming with Plan 9 and/or Inferno experience preferred. If interested, I need a resume and availability by this time next week (June 2, 2009) and we'll need to chat on the phone by the end of next week. There will be a second opportunity for a 3 month position for a separate (but still somewhat related) project - I'll post more details on that project when it becomes available -- it may be during next summer (2010). Please send resumes, recommendation letters, and availability to me (ericvh AT gmail DOT com). -eric

This is a recorded message. I am currently out of contact with my computer system. Your message to me has been saved and will be read upon my return. This is the last time you will receive this message during my absence. Thank you.
Re: [9fans] persuade contrib/install to work
in /rc/bin/9fs, change 'case sources'. i think it makes sense to have it dial $sources and set it to favorite location. > but I get > srv: timeout establishing connection to tcp!sources.cs.bell-labs.com!9fs > so as if contrib still wants to connect to the central sources...
Re: [9fans] persuade contrib/install to work
I think it would be better for contrib to do something
like test -d /n/sources/plan9 || 9fs sources
9fs sources
should probably mount sources, always.

[9fans] new usb implementation
I've just pushed out to sources a new USB implementation, courtesy of nemo, who debugged and repaired our old UHCI and OHCI drivers, wrote a new EHCI driver for USB 2, converted the user-mode drivers in /bin/usb and tested it all, among other things. Thank you, nemo. I've updated on sources at least /386/9*load* (though they contain no USB code), /386/9pc*, kernel sources, manual pages and a few scripts in /rc/bin. Tomorrow's CD image should incorporate all this. devusb has a new interface, so it is named #u, to distinguish it from the old one, #U. If usbd is compiled into /boot, /boot/boot will run usbd at start up, thus permitting the use of USB keyboards, mice, disks, etc. at boot time.

Re: [9fans] new usb implementation
Dear Geoff, This is great news! I'm new to plan 9 and am now finishing the port for the OLPC XO. I've read the manual pages on "How to Contribute." It states I should ask for a space from you. What does that entail? I hope everything is well. Plan9 has made me ecstatic about OS again! I find myself creating bsd patches during the day and wondering how things could be done differently. Now I see :) thanks so much -jt On Tue, May 26, 2009 at 4:37 PM, wrote: > I've just pushed out to sources a new USB implementation, courtesy of > nemo, who debugged and repaired our old UHCI and OHCI drivers, wrote a > new EHCI driver for USB 2, converted the user-mode drivers in /bin/usb > and tested it all, among other things.

[9fans] Is there any script to build the Plan9 release CD image ?
Hi guys, Is there any script to build Plan9 CD image from the source tree? Something like NetBSD's build.sh ? thanks.

I know there is a CD image (4th Release) for i386 on the download page. But the POINT is i want to build the release CD image from source tree by myself.

I think it should depend on which system you are using. If you want to get a plan9 cd image, there should be a download link from plan9's homepage.
