Yes.
Erik's observations are also correct (it's "Geoff's reform 63-bitized version").

pedants would point out that it is unlikely this is
"traditional" ken fs. it is much more likely to be geoff's
reform 63-bitized version.

I'm running the traditional Ken FS, sans Erik's mods.
"sans" is French for "without" hence serif & sans-serif, is that what
you meant ?

I don't care whether ahci works or not, I only cared if the system
was Plan 9 capable and it is, the good thing is that everything
except audio is well supported by Plan 9.

Hello Wolfgang
You might want to get in touch with user 'Capso' on the
#pl...@irc.freenode.org channel. AFAIK he is running a Ken FS setup.

I am very interested in the old dedicated Ken fileserver. So
far I understand you there are ways to run Ken fileserver today?

i'm trying to get one to test. fortunately, this thing has an
82574 nic. which should work just fine.

Sorry, I have corrected myself privately but not here yet.
The Intel D945GCLF2D looks like a nice board but I agree the broken MP
tables are a deal breaker for plan9 (unless acpi support can sidestep
the issue one day).

I have two 7500 RPM "Enterprise grade" disks (i.e. better than average
reliability)

Nice board. I could get it for 50$. So far I can see this board has
the ICH7 chip. So AHCI is not working on this board? I am not sure
if this is important.
Thanks!

I recently built a new server out of an Intel Dualcore Atom motherboard
(D945GCLF2D), it needs some kernel patches from Erik to get everything to
work cleanly but it is now great. I added two 500Gb SATA disks mirror
