Dell OptiPlex 9020 Haiku R1B4 Installation

Feedback Hardware
1

Howdy!

I recently purchased two used PCs: Dell OptiPlex 9020s.

SPECS:

Computer: Dell OptiPlex 9020 (SFF desktop)
Processor : Intel i5-4570 (3.2 GHz)
Memory: 8GB RAM
Graphics (onboard): Integrated Intel® HD Graphics 4600 [untested]
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 8570
Sound: Integrated Intel 2-channel High Definition Audio
Network: Integrated Intel I217LM Ethernet LAN 10/100/1000;
Hard Drive size: 2 Tb

NOTES:

  1. Attempted to install using R1B4 ISO–but it errors out after the boot icons complete and displays a kernel panic for a USB object failing jumping into KDL.

  2. Attempted HREV-56932–installed clean! The easiest Haiku installation ever! Then I spent next two nights installing software and migrating data from my Haiku laptop.

ISSUES:
It also has USB 3 & USB 2 slots. The USB 2.0 work great; but USB 3.0 kept dropping from MOUNTed to UNMOUNTed (accompanied with “cannot locate device” error messages). So, USB 3 is unstable to use.

Graphics, sound, and network just worked–that was great to see. It did not have the wi-fi option installed.

Other than that–no other issues to report. This is best hardware I have used for Haiku as a daily driver!!

Great work developers!!

Hi @ArDrakho! Nice to read you’re having a blast with Haiku :slight_smile:

Regarding that USB 3 issue, even if @waddlesplash might read this anyway, you should consider filing a bug report. See https://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/ReportingBugs, specially the Hardware Issues section.

I recategorized this thread. You could have done it just as easily, @lelldorin .
