HELP WANTED: R1/beta5 boot & hardware testing!

No, not yet. I first wanted to be sure that this is still supported, before I fiddle around with that system.

AFAIK The baseline support needed is MMX instruction support, and SSE2 if you intend to run webpositive.

So you dont use Windows 10 or 11 at all? Is it?

Hi,
it seems that I did that long time ago already with beta3 and 4:

Matrox issues:

https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/18310

But I still could not get beta5 to boot and provide a syslog for that. I thought there is/was an option to safe the syslog from previous boots, but there isn’t. Any ideas?

Update:
I could create a syslog and created a ticket:

I am thinking of buying an old X280 as my portable Haiku machine. Since your post is the only one mentioning this exact model back in 2024 I wonder if you could confirm if you still use it and what works ? Notably WiFi & audio & maybe webcam ?

You can take a look at our Haiku Hardware Database too. I does not see a Thinkpad x280 in there but i only looked at Lenovo. Do other manufacturer have Thinkpads too?

Thinkpads were invented by IBM, who sold the name and rights to Lenovo around twenty years ago. Nobody else makes or has made Thinkpads.
Generally, Thinkpads are Linux-friendly, and Haiku-friendly, although there is the usual driver problem in some cases.
I have a number of older Thinkpads and Haiku works well enough on all of them.
