i'm getting one of three conditions
1. a normal and very quick start of the new kernel.
(one odd bit: lapicerror: 0x. i assume that's
the unanswered ipi.)
2. a reset and not a reboot
3. a hang right after after the LAPIC: ... line.

Hi,
I noticed etherigbe.c (in igberballoc) was recently changed to
increment the refcount on the block it allocates. Any reason it uses
_xinc rather than incref?

I'll double check.

do you have numbers to back up this claim?

If you're using CVS to get plan9port or drawterm,
it's time to switch to Mercurial.

More detail follows, for those who care.
In November 2007 I added support for fetching
Plan 9 from User Space via Mercurial instead
of CVS. For the past two years I've
somone was working on a modern port of TeX to plan9.
did this work out? I would like to update my installation

This doesn't address your issue /per se/, but if you'll indulge me,
I'll ramble a bit about LaTeX and text files.
For the past three years I used LaTeX for everything, including papers
suitable for publishing.

I gave it a go but it wore me out. The pdflatex guys just destroyed
Hello 9fans@
Although it is no TeX I would like to suggest ``lout'', a lightweight
(2 MB) document formatting system written in ANSI C by Jeffrey H.
Kingston. [0]
Quotation from Wikipedia:
``It reads a high-level description of a document similar in style to
LaTeX and produces a PostScript file
But the documentation makes no sense!
Its main disadvantages are that it can only produce PostScript and
there is no easy way to get XML or any other
output format (apart from plain text).
...disadvantage ... no ... XML ...
I mean, what's the disadvantage here :-)

I've just pushed out a small change to /sys/src/9/pc/realmode.c that
allows monitor=vesa to work on multiprocessor pcs without *nomp being
defined in plan9.ini (i.e., you can use all available processors [or
cores] and still use vesa mode). I've also pushed out new kernels, so

sure. i was looking it as a kernel version of a

As far as I can tell, yes, that's all it took.
The old code had been turning off the old 8259 interrupt controllers
used by uniprocessors but didn't disable the lapic on mp systems.
