[minix3] Installing on Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 2530 (laptop)

Hi all! I've been trying to install Minix3 on my laptop, but it fails to detect my HDD. This is probably caused by the fact that I have an AHCI chipset. The problem is I cannot change any setting in the BIOS, except for the date/time and some passwords. The laptop I'm using is the one sold cheaply to students two years ago, at the VU (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam). The reason I'm trying is the recent release of the r8169 driver, which should be compatible with this laptop. Has anybody had any luck with a situation like this, or any ideas of how I could get Minix3 installed?

[minix3] Re: open(),write() calls not working inside system call handler

Hi, Using those calls from a system call is difficult, since you are likely to deadlock when calling one server from another without thinking it through properly (and even worse, calling the same server). However, it sounds like there is no need for a call like this to be implemented in a server. Why not do it as a library routine?
