Hi All,
Has anyone had any luck getting plan9 to work in Virtual PC 2004? It's
the easiest way for me to get started with it, but on my 3.4GHz
hyper-threaded P4, plan9 installs ok but then when it's finished and
reboots I get constant disk errors (Virtual PC is setup with a fixed
size 4GB hd, and I'm installing fossil+venturi).
On my 900MHz P3 (still using VirtualPC), plan9 installed ok, then I
rebooted, logged in as glenda, created a new account, and entered
fshalt. fshalt sat their synchronizing, and 24hrs later was still
sitting there busy synchronizing (Virtual PC was setup with a 6GB fixed
size hd, and fossil+venturi was installed).
Has anyone had any luck with Virtual PC? I'd really like to use
fossil+venturi in a production system, so just installing fossil alone
isn't worth it.
Thanks for any help.
Drew
Well, I think the synchronizing problems with fshalt could be because
fossil dumps to venti at the first boot; this takes a very long time
and would take a lot longer on a virtual machine. I don't know if
fshalt stops the process; if it doesn't, I assume it would wait for
the dump to finish.
