sorry about the "missed ide interrupts" botch. it seemed better than not booting at all. you can set "*sdXXdma=on" in your plan9.ini. but i don't think that's the real problem. i'd guess that your southbridge isn't in the list of routable southbridges and needs to be added. but in addition, i would do the following 1. remove the "*nomp=1" line from plan9.ini 2. switch to ahci mode. (assuming this is indeed a sata drive that is connected to the ich sata ports and not some marvell or sis addon chip.) 3. send your pci output offline. - erik
