Re: [9fans] Shiva/Guru Plug Support
i've had the most problems with power supplies on both models; going by my sample size, they have a 25% combined failure rate. I've had 100% failure rate (sample size = 1) of the host usb connector, while attempting a demo at IWP9 -- seriously embarrassing.
[9fans] Shiva/Guru Plug Support
Hello, I found the annoucement for Shiva plug support (http://marc.info/?l=9fansm=125849399830547w=2) and I was wondering what progress has been made with the port. I looked in /sys/src/9/kw and it looks like there has been more recent development, but could someone give me a quick summary of what has been accomplished. Also, would this port work on the GuruPlug Server (http://marc.info/?l=9fansm=125849399830547w=2)? I looks like it has almost the exact same hardware as the Shiva. I'd just like to know the port status before I purchase one for use with Plan9. Thanks. -- Burton Samograd

i have several (guru and sheeva) running plan9. they're configured as cpu's and boot from a file server (x86 laptop auth+cpu+fs). i've had the most problems with power supplies on both models; going by my sample size, they have a 25% combined failure rate. -Skip On Sun, May 13, 2012 at 8:42 AM, Burton Samograd burton.samog...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I found the annoucement for Shiva plug support (http://marc.info/?l=9fansm=125849399830547w=2) and I was wondering what progress has been made with the port.

I ended up rolling my own on it. It seems to get to hot when running Plan 9. I don't have this issue with the default configuration though. -- Veety
