When booting the installcd on my ibm xserve 305 it says;
Bios call failed: bios loading disabled
no plan9.ini
then it gives me a boot from: prompt but it doesn't matter which ide
interface or device i try, it just brings me back to the prompt.
FreeBSD is installed on this particular machine right n
Hi !
It seems that Plan9 boot loader doesn't support modern hardware from IBM :(
May be someone from IBM can help :)
P.S.: I have some IBM HS21 servers and I wish to use Plan9 on them.

pci (or linux lspci -n) output would be helpful.

Sorry, I have HS21's, but I've never tried booting native on them.
Part of the problem will no doubt be that the CDROM is over a USB and
seems to be flakey even when installing certain Linux distros. My
solution (and the easiest path here) is to just use a virtualization
environment on the blades
Ignore the complaint about the BIOS; it's a red herring. Lots of
BIOSes have bugs that prevent 9load from booting through them, but
unless you're attempting to boot from bios0 or sdB0, 9load is not
using the BIOS to boot.
Is anyone using usb cdroms? (with other systems, I mean).
Just curious.

I used to have an usb cd drive, but nowadays plan9 is the only thing I
have which fits on one cd and thus I stopped using this medium.

Ok so i'm hearing a lot of "unsupported" here.
I just wanted to mention that when it boots up from the CD it shows boot
devices: fd0 so it seems like only floppy is recognized.
This could be because this DVD-drive is kinda glitchy, FreeBSD had issues
with it too when i installed it but i just kept
How about disk storage ... HS21 have internal SAS controller that is
unsopported by Plan9.

i have a couple of cpu servers that use similar hardware.
(at least the 63xxesb southbridge).
the ide driver works with ide drives and the ahci driver
works
HS21 does't have IDE pinouts and drives. Only QLogic SAS controller and two
SFF SAS Drives

Hello,
I don't know if that's relevant but I had no problem pluging in a
supported PCI NIC card in my IBM eserver 325, after I found out the
default (broadcom too I think) one was not supported.
3.4.0: net 02.00.0
I have an PCI expansion unit. Adaptec Inc ASC-29320ALP Ultra320 SCSI
Controller is lpuggit in it, and second port is free :) It's not a
problem... Problem is with LSI Logic LSISAS1064ET PCI-Express Fusion-MPT
SAS :)

i think instead you need to add this line
case case (0x1183<<16)|0x1039: /* SiS 966 */
to sdata.c after the existing sis entry.
