I tried this on my Thinkpad X280.
First I got the boot screen stuck with the USB drive, no icons lighting up. After switching the bios to “legacy boot mode” I could finally get Haiku to boot. The resolution was wrong, I had to set it manually (1366x768).
I restarted the laptop. Next boot, the welcome screen didn’t appear again. I found the installer app. Deleted existing partitions on the SSD, created a new “Be FS” partition, and installed Haiku on it. Rebooted. The BIOS refused to boot on the SSD.
I think I missed something during the install like a step to copy the bootloader maybe? so I put the USB drive back, boot on live USB Haiku and it seems I missed that you need to check the “Active partition” when creating the partition. I did the install again and it works perfectly now.
So, it’s good, it’s working, but it’s hard to understand what’s going on when it’s not working, having an error message when the UEFI boot fails would be nice to know what’s going on

Trekkies to the rescue! Just google “star trek sounds” and you will find more beeps and bongs than you will know what to do with.
At this stage we’re just testing for hardware compatibility, not whether the reproduction of Beethoven’s Ninth includes the single triangle note in the second movement

Looks like an app_server crash. Try booting with fail-safe graphics driver.
This is kind of expected, it happens when onscreen paging is enabled: another thread tries to output something to the syslog and waits for a very long time while the “Press any key to continue” is showing. You can boot with SMP disabled or just “continue” at the prompt.
Thanks! This helped. System booted. Everything works.
I thought that the framebuffer driver would be used by default here (Radeon Vega 8), so I didn’t try it in safe mode. Did the system try to connect some real Radeon driver here? Is there work on such a driver?
check screen preferences
The radeon_hd driver includes hardware ids for chips that might have not been fully tested. If it causes problems, maybe they should be disabled in favor of vesa/framebuffer.
Yes, the zen series APUs (14nm) are mentioned there, perhaps the system confused them with the zen+ series (12nm). Maybe there is some serious difference between them? (Well among Radeon Vega 8 variants for zen, zen+, Zen2, Zen3).

Beam email imap is unusable, you cannot select the type of encryption without either it crashing during selection or when you attempt to check mail.
In addition if you try to use check and suggest for authentication it will select an encryption method but blanks out the Auth method.
Beam is a third-party mail client not part of the release, you can send bug reports of it here: Issues · HaikuArchives/Beam · GitHub

It’s weird, as I believe it’s same version of beam as Beta4. I’m thinking it’s an issue with encryption. Same issue is present in Balsa. Claws mail is only client working
Can you run the (same) Binary on beta4 without the crash? If so we can investigate if that is indeed a regression. Binaries from older releases should normally continue to work since we try to keep ABI compat
I’m at work now, but I will look into it when I get home
It’s possibly caused by the in-progress update to openssl 3
My stuff built earlier won’t even load, not being able to find the libssl.so it was linked with. Have to pull in an openssl developer package, and relink.
openssl 1 is no longer shipped with Haiku, as such you need to recompile against openssl 3, ideally with properly using it’s api.
You can install openssl 1.1 if you need it (the package name is “openssl”). But if you end up with both versions in your app (for exemple because you link against 1.1, but use a library that uses openssl3), you get a crash. So it may be a good idea to migrate as soon as possible and get rid of openssl 1.1
Lenovo X230i:
Wifi/Ethernet connect, but no DNS so unable to connect to internet
Sound: Detected and media keys work but no output.
If your internet problems are really only related to DNS,you can easily solve that by opening the network settings,go to DNS settings and add the IP addresses from Service Info | dismail.de as servers.
Maybe also remove other servers from the list if there are any,to make sure their unavailability won’t cause further issues.
