Hello, The new 9atom iso fails for me the same. But if you finish manually the installation formatting and preparing the 9fat partition, the system boots right (just as erik said). Also, the annoying cpu0:spurious interrupt kernel message is gone (with the iso's 9pcf and with a 9pccpuf

Maybe this can be of any use for erik and the people working in 9load and Plan 9's kernel. For now that is the only thing I can do, test and report... I hope in the future to be of more help. ah, so the issue is that 9load (on the default install cd) and the non-mp kernel 9pccd have some

Hello everyone, maybe this can be of interest to someone. I have downloaded from 9legacy the old 9spirit iso (the newest uses bell's 9load, doesn't it?) I have installed the system selecting a fat partition with bell's iso. All went right, and I reboot. First thing happens: MBR...PBS1...Bad

tail -f /dev/kprint I see, when kprint is open the log isn't sent to the console. Also simply tail or cat /dev/kprint works fine. I need to read more man pages... But now I'm in my installation nightmare! 9atom installation doesn't work, when coping the distribution setting gid and uid fails

- If I select install, rio starts but there are a lots of cpu0:spurious interrupt 39, last 14 you can work around this (i admit it's a hack) by starting a new rio window, running cat /dev/kmesg, then hiding the window. be sure to turn scroll on before hiding. i had a machine with this

Ok, 9atom gets into the proper Plan 9 kernel but sticks at: 896M memory: 256M kernel data, 639M user, 0M swap thanks for trying. you can change boot vars from the keyboard. e.g. (type everything but the tab) a *nomp=0 a *nousbehci= unfortunately that first one doesn't work,
