hello everyone, ive got a problem with Haiku beta 5 on my thinkpad e14 gen2
when i boot a live image and i go to haiku bootloader and boot, it stucks at the hard drive icon, when i boot normally it goes just fine but when am trying haiku and click on the blue leaf on the deskbar, the live environment freezes before showing me and the desktop freezes, when installing haiku the environment freezes again before installer shows up but i can only drag the window installer but “install from” and “onto” only show “scanning…” and the window seems to be frozen, what do i do?
update: it now doesnt boot at all only stuck at this rockey icon
Nine times out of ten, in my experience, the graphics driver is the problem. Try Failsafe Graphics (Haiku-talk for VESA) before you do anything else. Here are the instructions: Boot Loader
If that isn’t the problem, you’ll have to try the other options one by one until you find the culprit.
tried every safe option, nothing worked, it just kept freezing on the drive (just checked that its called boot disk) icon but sometimes on the hardware icon (i think, could be a motherboard icon, am not good at describing stuff sometimes, checked that its a plug in card icon) and sometimes it gave me “no boot partition found” error
@J39 Does your e14 have a discrete Nvidia MX450 GPU? I have read this could cause troubles on OS other than Windows and it can’t be disabled from the BIOS. In any case yours seems an intermittent failure at different points in the boot process. Every single icon is a different stage and being stuck there has different causes. Not to mention, the freezing in the live environment.
It would be useful to extract the syslog from your disk or enable on-screen logging.
the nightly build works rlly well, got to install and use haiku with 0 problems
update: i have to press cancel shutdown everytime i boot haiku bc when i press shutdown the os crashes and when i press restart system then it doesnt, but overall everything works
