Mobile workstations
Version: Haiku R1 Beta 1 (32-bit)
Model: MacBook Pro 15" 2.2GHz Mid-2007 (MacBookPro3,1)
Rating: Somewhat okay (i.e. the display works, but there’s no sound or mouse)
Startup media: Internal SSD or hard drive (imaged or installed)
Started with: I do not know what this means
Boot options: Tried boot options
Memory: 6GB
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz (probably T7500 “Merom”)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 128MB
Additional notes (multi-line):
- Does not boot Haiku from USB, you need to use a DVD drive or extract the disk and use another computer to install Haiku onto it. In my case, I must have screwed the boot loader stuff by having two SSDs with multiple partitions, so I ended up using a secondary SSD with an Haiku R1/Beta 1 32bit install image (written using dd) to boot the system (by pressing ALT and then choosing
Windows
) and the main drive to hold the partitions for both macOS and Haiku.
- Sometimes, it requires two or three attempts before booting successfully, and turning on or off some boot options may help, but I could not find a pattern that would work every single time. Sometimes, the boot process seems to be frozen at the first icon, until I take out the cable of a USB mouse, then it boots.
- It uses VESA Graphics on the full internal display resolution and Wifi works OK.
- Sometimes, though, it looses wifi connection and can only get back online by rebooting the system.
- Audio output did not work in the beta, but if you update to a recent (64bit) nightly build, you can get loud audio output on earphones or external speakers.
- The internal trackpad seems to be a bit ““nervous””, clicking in small targets may be a challenge, and there is no secondary button nor scroll. Using an external USB mouse worked perfectly.
- There is no iSight camera, but I believe the internal microphone works.
- Keyboard layout for my language (Portuguese) is a work in progress, as there are some keys that need to be reconfigured.
- There is no keyboard backlight. The system is very stable overall.
- I did see a few kernel panics occasionally, but I have been able to work for long hours without any problems.
