Re: [9fans] Very Off-Topic: Anybody here reads Sci-Fi? :)

I think Dune is a must read for any scifi fan... I am a retro-scifi fan... I love to read the stories, but sometimes a 50's movie can tell a story quite nicely... Crappy FX require a better plot to keep you watching... I recommend: - The Forbidden Planet (The best!) (Very likely the precursor of

Re: [9fans] I/O load crashes Qemu

FPGA's are getting cheaper. A friend of mine got a nice Spartan III for less than us$50 Clock speeds are still behind the usual ASIC (lack of sleep might alter my grammar habilities), but I think they are ok for things like a java vm, or a nes emulator... Years ago I made a picoJava based process

Re: [9fans] I/O load crashes Qemu

Any good recommended lecture to learn about good virtualization? I imagine that the biggest issue is to avoid a racing condition between the two(or 'n') running kernels. Then... Would it be very hard to build an fs that allows to share real hardware with another kernel running alongside plan 9? I

Re: [9fans] I/O load crashes Qemu

In fact it is definetly not a plan9 issue... If qemu fails hosting plan 9, it affects plan 9 but there is little to be done unless we communicate with the qemu dev team. Plan 9 is not the only os having problems with DMA access through qemu. I am myself a moron... All I know is that the issue exis

Hola! Any error message? What is your disk controller? Have you read the wiki? Is it supported? Does it freeze whether you choose to use DMA or not? éxito! On Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 3:51 PM, hugo rivera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi: > I downloaded the plan 9 iso image a couple of days ago. >
