Attempting new plan9 installation, seeing this sort of thing going on: bios 0: drive 0x80: 80.026,361,856 bytes, type 3 biosdiskcall: int 13 op 0x42 drive 0x80 failed, ah error 0x80 sectread: bios failed to read 512 @ sector 0 of 0x80
... searching 9fans, I see that others have had same issue, recently and in the past: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg15073.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg14087.html http://9fans.net/archive/2009/09/209 ... etc. So now I'm going to try installing using one of Erik's distros: ftp://ftp.quanstro.net/other/plan9.iso.bz2 or ftp://ftp.quanstro.net/other/9atom.iso.bz2 ... but I'm wondering: why does 9load seem to sometimes suffer from apparent regressions in the official iso? I'm reviewing a draft plan 9 installation howto I wrote a while back, and I'm wondering whether the howto should just suggest that the user obtain their iso from quanstro.net (9atom.iso.bz2 or plan9.iso.bz2) rather than the iso from plan9.bell-labs.com?
