hi,
has anyone managed to install plan9 successfully on Mac using Parallels
Desktop 4.0 for Mac?
i tried in two ways:
- i had a temporary plan9 installation on Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac.
After upgrade to 4.0, i tried to convert this one and use it on Parallels

Hi Richard/pac,
thanks for the quick response and info.
i will try it out as soon as i am able to use some plan9. currently my old
plan9 machine is almost dead and i am fighting with VMs to install plan9.
luckily i also bought a copy of vmware fusion today. so i am trying with it
too.
thanks

Re: fusion
would 9vx running under linux be an interesting option?
re: resample
If you are experimenting with interploation a zoneplate is one of
the best test signals to check your work on, though its
interpretation can be tricky.

hi all,
not sure if this discussion is continued elsewhere, but i thought i will
share what i found.
i just installed vmware fusion 2.0.1 (128865), downloaded new plan9 CD image
(that probably geoff made yesterday and the one that probably has richard's
vmware vga fix) and tried to install plan9.

Exactly which kernel are you booting under vmware? The latest kernels
from sources have a fix for this (at least 9pcf does - I just checked)

for plan 9, for the older 4501 i think i had to eliminate some cga references
in config and mkfile. use a mkfile without cga.$O (this
would be better done by specifying cga in the other config files, since it's
optional).
i used an earlier verson of the pcsoe config file below, but
had to add the

i don't know if this causes trouble with memory sizing.
or of the 5501 supports e820 (mine do), but i've used
real820.s in /n/sources/contrib/quanstro/9loadaoe
(or 9boot) in 16bit mode so bios calls are a bit less

It's been a few days since I updated and I don't get the error anymore,
so that was probably it, thanks.

Hi,
The contrib index mentions that daily changelogs for Plan 9 are in
sources/extra/changes, but those haven't been updated since early 2007.
Is there any preferred way to get changelogs / diffs these days?
Also, in sources/patch, there are patches neither in applied/ or sorry/.

I think so. These days, if I'm not booting into Plan 9 directly,
9vx is the only way I'm running it. For that matter, I don't
think I've fired up drawterm in months. I did run into a few
weird things in Linux, but I've been using it most

in the queue and not applied.

Don't know. The install I did in my local partition was
from an image from at least this summer, maybe older.

is this an abstract assertion or have you actually tried them?

any ideas appreciated.
when running plan 9 ip stack under 9vx, i get
a curious situation where the mount table goes
missing, but only for the namec called from
etherbind. it seems that up->pg isn't right.
the pgrpid is 2 for the call from namec but
3 for the call from the shell. both seem
wrong.
sorry to reply to myself, but the up in the kernel
belongs to an *io*, not the calling process.

That's weird, the up in the kernel that I was seeing belonged to
*init*. If you go further down into:
walk error 2: does not exist
You will see the error comes from dom
cf. the email about the comment
that fixes this.

hi richard,
i tried various combinations:
1280x1024
1280x800
1152x768
1920x1200
(i tried combinations like with x8, x24, x32 (not x16 i think)). nothing
seems to help. 1920x1200 looked like it turned the graphics mode on but then
it crashed.
btw, what was your plan9.ini config? did it look like:

Hey everyone,
Over the past few days, Erik Quanstrom has been helping debug issues
with the native IP stack in 9vx. He figured out some crazy issues with
gcc wanting to return negative values for signed modulo comparisons --
this combined with a stupid oversight has got IP working. Erik says

if you setup dedicated machines for cpu+auth and fs, then booting a pc kernel
on a vmware and booting from fs works very well as a term.

It is pretty much a question of it being a totally backwards way of
doing things, with one set of people doing the changes, and another
set of people guessing the meaning of the changes writing the
changelog.

Relatedly, is there a better way to mirror the development history of Plan 9
