Seems I fell again in the bios ahci set up trap. Checking the BIOS options
seems it was in Enhaced Ide mode instead of Enhaced AHCI mode.
Now the iso works perfectly. For those of you looking for a modern PC to run
plan9, this is what i have:
* asus P6T SE
* Core i7 (4 core works)

please send your pci output anyway. ide should work.
even if *nomp=1 so to do that we'll need to do the pcirouting

if the ethernet address is broken you can try to see if the nic
is still usable by setting promiscuous mode on...
I had the a problem years ago with andrey's sis900 driver
(the one in the distribution didn't work with my nic), when
I changed from a terminal to a 9pcf kernel it stopped working!

A long shot, somtimes its printed on the card (PCI or PCMCIA),

I just wanted to take a moment to thank Iru and Erik for their help with
getting Plan 9 installed natively on my 4 machines. While I'm still having
some difficulties with SATA/IDE issues, and non-supported ethernet devices, at
least now I can test native support as well as hosted inferno,
I'm glad there's another person out there with 4 machines running plan 9.
