I just played with an Eee PC for a few minutes. So the Eee PC's southbridge is not supported by 9load or the kernel. See /sys/src/boot/pc/pci.c and /sys/src/9/pc/pci.c for the southbridges list. I'm not sure how to boot Plan 9 without a CD-ROM drive, so I used dd to copy the ISO's bootdisk.img o

I am just playing with that right now. I have removed *nobiosload from plan9.ini. But I think 9load isn't able to access my plan9.ini on the USB stick. > What were those options in plan9.ini for letting the bios do the disk access? *nobiosload may need to be disabled? Stefan On Thu, Mar 27, 20

Re: [9fans] delay with keyboard input on bootloader

2008-04-15 Thread Stefan Hajnoczi
Do you mean the 9load prompts have unpredictable delays when echoing keyboard input? I noticed this recently when playing with Plan 9 on the Eee PC. Sometimes it works fine and the keyboard is responsive, other times there is a long delay before anything gets echoed. Stefan

[9fans] VIA Rhine II mii problems

2008-04-19 Thread Stefan Hajnoczi
Hi, I just installed Plan 9 on a machine using a VIA Rhine II NIC. Unfortunately the driver is not successfully initializing the device. Placing print statements in ethervt6102.c shows that vt6102reset() is failing when mii() returns an empty PHY mask. The mii() function is probing each PHY from

I initialised the mii struct to use phy 1, as mii() would have if it had succeeded. Unfortunately running ip/ipconfig simply sat there, running it with the debug flag showed recv timeouts. I could not see any packets on the network. Stefan On Sat, Apr 19, 2008 at 3:10 PM, erik quanstrom <[EMAIL
