Haiku R1 beta 6 (32bit) on EeePC 4G

Feedback
1

I installed beta 6 (32 bit) on an old EeePC 4G. Haiku runs fine on this “highend” hardware (1GB ram, 4GB hd, 600MHz Celeron).:smiley:

Screen (800x480), touchpad, ethernet, wifi and sound all works out of the box!

But the EeePC faces an big issue: can’t install or update software (LAN or WLAN)!
Pinging google.com works, but WebPositive fails to connect with error message “SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK”

There is also an annoying boot problem: after the 3rd icon it takes ~3 minutes to continue!

If You have another PC and can download things from Haiku Depot Server web site, you could try to update openssl3 package manually. It’s just a guess…

Please check the time and date first.

Thanks @Starcrasher and @korli !

Found two versions. Installed openssl3-3.5.8-1-x86_gcc2.hpkg (4275708 byte), rebooted but nothing changed. Then with openssl3_x86-3.5.8-1-x86_gcc2.hpkg (2273066 byte) the same result.

Did I miss something like generating new keys?

Did you check the system date and time?

Sorry @korli , I thought you wrote about the date of the new openssl package.

You are right, the system date was off!

Thank you, updates and WebPositive are working now :+1:

After some try and error with different save mode settings, the 3 minute boot delay went away.

Disable local APIC had to be selected.

The option gets reset with the next boot. Can this be made permanent?

I followed this forum link and added disable_apic true in ~/config/settings/kernel/drivers/kernel :+1:
