I bought a new AMD Ryzen recently that had a similar issue booting from USB. Turns out, the USB isn't supported by the 9front kernel, so it dies trying to boot from USB. PXE booting works fine. I did a video mentioning it, but haven't had time or motivation to dig into it. https://youtu.be/6Grhw

Again, do you have a photo of the screen? What happens when you type 'boot'? It sounds like the EFI code is starting fine, but failing to load the kernel, but I don't have enough information. On Thu, 13 Feb 2025 19:39:12 +0100, wrote: > On Thu, Feb 13, 2025 at 12:20:21PM -0500, o...@eigenstate

I'm using a modified Inferno acme because I'm used to having keyboard shortcuts for things like undo/redo and more conventional document navigation. Some of this was borrowed from this fork of plan9port: https://github.com/lmumar/plan9port/tree/master/src/cmd/acme

For anyone that might be looking for noisy, power-hungry, but inexpensive x86_64 machines with lots of cores and memory to play around with NIX, you may want to check recyclers like UNIXSurplus, REPC, 3RTechnology, etc. As an example, about a year ago I bought a Supermicro 1U server from UNIXSurpl

Once I had run ftq, I realized there was no way we were running on an AC with that kind of noise, and, sure enough, we were not. ftq is a handy diag. A bit further digging showed I had not finished the job. I had not added support code for exiting to an AC from the kernel. It's there now https://

I have a complicated relationship with 9P2000.L. On the one hand it's been a useful way to build file systems for Linux, and I've gotten some mileage out of that. On the other hand, I'm not crazy about having a different protocol to 9P (I've read through a lot of what's been said on 9fans about
