Well, 9atom did the trick this time, though the installer could not mount the same medium (/dev/sdE1/data) from which it was booted off :( The cdrecord/cdrtools 2.01.01a76-1 puked an error related to start sector, but it burned the disk, which used for boot 9atom. So I copied the iso image to a dos partition on /dev/sdE0, also needed to rename it to plan9.iso, because installer does not recognize the 9atom.iso Everything during the install worked fine, except for a lot of errors related to some invalid uids on the iso. Anyway, thanks lot for the great work; all Debian/XEN-dom0, Windows-7, FreeBSD, Plan9 and Ubuntu desktop are working fine in AHCI mode now :) -- Balwinder S "bdheeman" Dheeman Registered Linux User: #229709 Anu'z li...@home (Unix Shoppe) Machines: #168573, 170593, 259192 Chandigarh, UT, 160062, India Plan9, T2, Arch/Debian/FreeBSD/XP Home: http://werc.homelinux.net/ Visit: http://counter.li.org/
