it's not the e820 code, then. it's either falling over initializing the
console, or it's falling over probing devices for the .ini file.
after e820, 9load starts up the console and probes devices looking
for a .ini file.
i would think the odds are good that 9load has found an i/o port
that should not be touched. devices are probed in this order
floppy. ether, cd, sd.
i don't really have a kvm setup, but if it's possible, you might try
removing devices (espeically ethernet devices) from a copy of 9load
until you find something that boots, then add 'em back in till it doesn't.
sounds tedious, no? :-)
