Installation problem

[mohan]

Hi,

I am getting the below error while installing plan9, during the [bootsetup] phase

cp: error writing /n/9fat/9load: IOerror
cp: can't create /n/9fat/9pcf: '/n/9fat/9pcf' clone failed
/n/9fat/plan.ini: rc (bootsetup): can't open: '/n'9fat/plan9.ini' clone failed

Please help resolve this.

Thanks,
Mohan

Your spelling mistake, or the distribution's? I'm talking about the
quote in place of a slash.

the source is here: /sys/lib/dist/pc/inst/bootsetup.
clone failed means the file server went away, so this isn't
a case of a missing file.

op: try "echo dma on>/dev/sdC0/ctl". before copying.
you can open another window in the installer by the
normal methods and type anything.

I tried "echo dma on > /dev/sdC0/ctl" in a new terminal, but I am getting the same error during bootsetup.

"cat /dev/sdC0/ctl" prints
inquiry TSSTCorpCDDVDW SH-S223C I002
config 85C0 capabilities 0F00 dma 00000001 dmactl 00000001
interrupts read 3009 write 2966 cmds 5928
part data 0 206583
part 9fat 116744 118184

I am using plan9 from 9legacy.org. plan9 and 9front did not boot in my system.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I was able to boot plan9 by changing my bios setting "ATA/IDE Mode" from Native to Legacy.

I am downloading 9atom now and will give it a try.

Thanks for the help.

what does "not boot" mean exactly? where does it get stuck?

These CD images already enable DMA by default in the
ATA driver, so this step shouldn't be necessary.

You could try 9atom, as suggested by Erik, since he
uses different ATA and AHCI drivers.

What disk controller are you using? Does it support AHCI?
If so, have you tried to switch it to AHCI mode?

The 9legacy CD images also includes the AHCI driver
in the CD installer, in case your controller is supported.
