Im lost

Ok… im new to haiku. I am trying to put it on a extended partition and run it from a USB thumbdrive. I get

PANIC: get_boot_partitions failed!

Im not sure if that will be any help or not or if im even posting this on the right forum but i thought id give it a try

well you should probably open a bug tracker ticket. http://dev.haiku-os.org/

That said try and and change the boot options and see if that helps (press the spacebar while booting to get into the boot manager to change options like ACPI etc…)

Well, I have a related problem, see the photo at:

It can’t find your boot partition. Try some safe mode options (press space bar at boot).

Also, might be BIOS options. Try disabling USB3 and putting SATA compatibility mode on (change from AHCI to compatibility).

5

Hmm? It is booting from an USB stick, so how could it be unfindable?

6

Because haiku may not recognise your USB chipset. Really, if you have USB3 try disabling it in BIOS. Otherwise try any other USB options.

7

My hardware is a lenovo ideapad U410.
The installed OS here is Windows 7 pro.

The BIOS only gives a chance to enable or
disable USB legacy. Indeed there are two
USB3 ports and two traditional ports to
be used. I tried several combinations, where
USB sticks only had been bootable in legacy
enabled mode. The crashing then occurs
despite of using USB3 or traditional.

Moreover I had tried several save mode
variants after pressing space during boot.
This convinced me, that those bootable sticks
have been recognized and started working.
Nevertheless a crash could not be avoided.

As a work around I am able to use Haiku here
at a VMware Player 5.0.1. But this is not an
intended preferred genuine environment.

This probably will not work, but it is easy to try.

There unfortunately is no folder “/boot” at the (anyboot) USB stick.

10

If you can get access to another machine that will boot the anyboot usb stick you will find the /boot exists.

Is it possible to drop in a local computer/electronics store, boot your stick there and add the changes? The local stores here have no problem with me testing their machines with Haiku-OS as long as they can spare someone to monitor what I am doing.

Just tell them you want to find a machine that will boot Haiku in-case you can’t get your’s working.

The problem seems to be more complex. Thus my current
view on this is, that the primary HD drive is meant,
when boot drive is mentioned, thus not the USB stick.
But at my lenovo this drive is only to be seen during
booting, when booting just from this drive. This first
drive is an SSD, containing the system partition for the
Windows 7 OS, mainly installed at a second built-in HD.
Therefor I separated a 3 GB partition at the primary SSD,
where I now have installed the Haiku system, and next
I have installed there a bootmanager at the SSD, now
switching between the Win 7 service partition and Haiku.

At least, when the laptop boots, I can select between
starting Windows 7 by choosing that service partition
or Haiku otherwise.

At this point I badly fail when trying to access WIFI.
Thus I am not yet able to install the Paladin package.

It seems to be a very hard job to get Haiku working here …
