[9fans] install failing to detect SATA disk

2013-02-15 Thread Deepak Chawla
I'm trying to install Plan9 on my Thinkpad T410. I could boot using the latest Plan9.iso image and the install process gets to the diskpart step (the step after the configfs step) and it complains about not seeing any hard disks. I have Linux installed in one of the partitions and it shows the fol

No /dev/sd* directory. I only found a /dev/sdctl. On a side note, I got plan 9 installed on a VBox VM - had to install an older version of VBox and use IDE controller for the virtual disk. Mouse worked during install but not after that. On Feb 16, 2013 1:06 AM, "erik quanstrom" wrote: > On Sat F

Good news: 9atom successfully detected the SATA drive, the unpartitioned space in it and used it for the installation. Bad news: It ended up corrupting my Linux root partition which was after the unpartitioned space. Fortunately I had a back of the root partition and I could quickly recover it. Ha

[9fans] multi-processor support

My Vbox VM has 2 CPUs, but /dev/sysstat only has one line entry for CPU ID 0. I'm running Erik's 9atom on the VM. Do I need to run anything to start the other processor?

Check your plan9.ini (in the 9fat partition), it probably has a "user=glenda" line in there. Remove it and it'll prompt for a user name. On Wed, Aug 14, 2013 at 4:29 PM, Roswell Grey wrote: > I've done con -l /srv/fscons and gone through that process. But I don't > know what to do to log in as t

1. I have a similar setup.. grub multi-boot with Win7, Linux and Plan9. Works great. I use the same way to boot Plan9 as I do to boot Win7 2. You'll need to resize the filesystem first, not sure which fs you have (fossil?) and if you can resize it. If you can, resize the fs to smaller than the desi

In the past, I've had problems installing 9atom/plan9 on the latest version of VirtualBox, but I could install it on a VM from an older (4.1.24?) rev of VirtualBox. I have since updated to the latest VirtualBox and my VMs have continued to work. I haven't tried an install on a new VM since I update
