R1 Alpha 4 will not boot to my Maingear i7 based 4770 CPU z87 Motherboard system with nVidia 750ti video card.
Anyone using nightly that will boot so I can test OS from CD?

I was able to downlpad the .hpkg OpenSound and install it but can’t erase or move or rename that HDA Audion file for the life of me. Keep getting a message to the affect of can’t write to read only or something like that. Will have to try again and report the exact message.[/quote]
Yes, the system files are protected inside read-only packages. You can blacklist drivers that mess things up either from the boot options menu or, to make the blacklisting permanent, by creating a config file. It’s all described in this article.
You should file a ticket at the bugtracker with your hardware info.

Welcome to the merry land of Haiku’s Virtual Filesystem for Packages where you can’t even disable buggy drivers without mocking around with config files. Aren’t they trying to make it into a kind of Linux monstrosity, but worse?
I am not shure if the new nightly supports the graphic card or mainboard. I havent found any bug entry in the bugtracker… so either it should work or nobody filled a bug report.
So i suggest two things:
First dont us a cd to boot, boot from use a usbstick instead.
https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/installing/making_haiku_usb_stick
The pros are, you can update the stick with the newest haiku without problems
if you follow this guide:
http://haiku-os.org/guides/daily-tasks/updating-system
The second thing is, if you created a haiku-os usb stick and press spacebar direktly when its boots… then you can access the boot parameters for haiku.
There you should use failsaife videomode and then a correspondending solution for your screen (if the grafik card is the problem)
You can also choose differnt options wich should help to boot haiku:
https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/bootloader.html
If you are able to run haiku, you can contribute to haiku, if you fill out ab bug specifying what whent wrong:

Thanks Paradoxon!
Some goods news and bad news.
So making a USB bootable thumb drive with recent nightly allowed me to boot my system using the onboard Intel graphics. It boots fast and so that is much better than when I tried R1 Alpha4 on this same system before.
Appears on-board ethernet fails (or at least was not detected) so no internet access. I happened to have an old USB Ethernet Dongle that I know has worked with Haiku before and using that at least I can get on the Internet.
Ultimately though I will want to get built-in ethernet if at all possible.
Now sound was hit and miss. Always seems that way with every single Haiku install I have ever done.
At first I had no sound at all. Reboot a few times and magically sound worked. Fuzzy tinny sound but worked. Then it went out again. VERY flakey.
So, had thought I would erase the HD Audio file and optionalinstall the OpenSound but was met with this whole new package management thing.
I was able to downlpad the .hpkg OpenSound and install it but can’t erase or move or rename that HDA Audion file for the life of me. Keep getting a message to the affect of can’t write to read only or something like that. Will have to try again and report the exact message.
The USB thumb drive is not write protected so not sure why I can’t trash the file in question.
Anyway, not sure if OpenSound would do any better anyway.
