I have a Harchos 9 pad and i can not boot Haiku on this device.
The configuration of this pad:
CPU: Atom Z515 1.2GH
RAM: 1 Go
SSD: 32Go (configured with one only FAT32 partition by GParted)
I try ISO’s image on USB key with dd command and UNetbootin and then Anyboot, but nothing append, and with a ISO’s DVD image on a optical drive.
With DVD, i see start point and just the prompt, and nothing else again.
I can boot else operating system on this pad like Windows or Ubuntu.
My Haiku’s USB key and DVD run on other computer but no on my pad.
What’s happened, hardware incompatibility ? I hope not.
I try with Anyboot’s key and ISO’s dvd, i can’t get the bootloader. I begin to despair.
I have another USB key with Ubuntu installed which I booted. If i download Haiku’s source on it, can i built Haiku on pad’s SSD ? Is it possible that Haiku works after that ?

No, i don’t know this options.

I dont think so.
Two questions
Is your pad using uefi? If so you are in trouble since we are not (yet) supporting uefi (fully?)
The second would be to check if the chipset is supported form haiku…
this are just my two cents… i am not such a pro there … but as it sound for me…
it either one of the both.
Yeah the GMA500 has issues. You need to disable ACPI in the boot options, otherwise it can’t boot from USB.
Alternatively, if you have linux you can use dd to copy a raw image on to a partition, build and run makebootabletiny to make the partition bootable, and then add it to the grub bootloader. I don’t have any detailed steps on this, as it was 2 years ago that I did it with my sony vaio P series, and I can’t remember, but those are the basic steps.
