not sure if this the correct area to post this in & whether or not someone knows about this already, but recently the Haiku Live CD has stopped posting past the initial boot screen/freezes on all boot icons lighting up. This fault appears to have been introduced relatively recently. The last version of the nightlies that I managed to get to post had some garbled video-mode upon booting into Haiku Live CD (Radeon ATI HD5770). (438## ?)
I’ve tried the latest rev.43844 on both an X58 chipset motherboard/I920/ICH10R and a Hp8510W laptop/intel t7700/ICH8m/intel 965m express chipset, and the freezing occurs on both systems.
Please ignore this post if everybody already knows about this. I just thought everybody probably does their testing using VMs these days and maybe not the ISO live cds, so maybe the fault isn’t showing up in a virtual enviroment.
I experienced the same problem. The last nightly to boot was haiku-nightly-hrev43776-x86gcc2hybrid-cd. Every nightly after that one just hung at the boot screen.
I just tried every image from 43776 to 43867 as well … 43776 was the only one that was able to boot all others are doing as you describe. I run A3 quite nicely so nightly images aren’t really a big concern for me but I do like to test them out at times.
BTW: It should be noted that images I tried were standard ISO (which have been depreciated in favor of anyboot anyway). I tried the iso’s both in virtualbox and burned to cd on live hardware - the same machine I run A3 on - with the same result. I can’t seem to successfully burn the anyboot image for some reason so I can’t test that one (and I HATE qemu with the utmost of contempt). The vmdk images do boot fine for me.
[quote=Bruno Brocoli]live cd works now again with 43877 thx…
but cannot install to hard drive… data error…[/quote]
Thanks for confirming that the ISO’s work again! But … these forums are not a bug tracker. Please, please, file tickets for these issues. One way to think about it, there’s only two types of bugs that get fixed – 1. ones that you fix yourself. 2. ones that the developers are aware of.
