Just to add to the misery, I tried a 9atom (from three days ago) install in Parallels 6.0.12090.660720 (2011-05-26 build date, apparently). It hangs after lamenting igbe: unusable PciCLS: 0, using 8 longs. Screenshot attached, FWIW. --annoyedattachment: parallels6_plan9_fail.png

i've incorporated the patch and rerolled the cd. unfortunately it's not tested because i don't have any igbe anymore. the change to the eeprom access might be a problem, but i think just an extra clock cycle should be okay. you may wish to download just the kernel. - erik

you may wish to download just the kernel. I've given up on Parallels. And VMware (where I leapt to after Parallels 5 stopped working). For half the price of either, Craigslist will spit up hardware that will run Plan 9 on bare metal.
