Hi. My Name is Pascal, I am from Switzerland and stumbled upon Haiku today. I found it a good mix to have a High-End Windows 11 PC, a Linus Mint low-end PC, and an old PC with Haiku.
The PC is a Pentium 4 3.067GHZ (First CPU with Hyperthreading!) with Radeon X1950 Pro 512MB GPU,1 GB RAM, and an old 200 GB HDD.
I burnt an ISO of Haiku to a DVD-R and booted the Pentium 4 with it, the installer loaded, and I formatted the HDD and did run the installer. However, upon rebooting, no bootable drive was found after I removed the DVD and I could not solve this issue with the bootloader or BIOS options.
What can I do to fix this issue? The HDD seems to be detected according to the log, but Haiku can’t boot from it…
Have you created the partition map from scratch in the haiku installer? If you have not did you use Tools-> Write boot sector at the end of the installation?
Have you explicitly marked the partition you installed onto as active when creating it in DriveSetup?
With a pentium 4 cpu I think it is very unlikely that the problem is efi related. In theory some newer boards do use such older cpu designs for cost saving but this seems unlikely to me (that the board would use EFI)
Look at these tropics, usb floppy driver is present, floppy driver for ISA bus was removed, there is no one working on these 2 floppy drives, both usb and ISA:
Guys, I have just fixed the issue and it worked for me. Just try to follow these two things if you’re trying to install on new hard drives.
I’ve got SSD 456 GB
AND 80+ Gb of ram
With 4070 nividia
However, When partitioning and installing the Haiku
Make a partition that is less than 120 gig Whenever I try to do the whole entire disc, it always showed that there is no boot found
(This solved the issue for me and Worked)
And obviously I had a stock at loading so I had to press space Get into the safe mode menu and ignore the 4 gigs of RAM
The issues while booting with too much RAM has been fixed a few months ago.
If you try a recent nightly build, it should work with your 80GB RAM fully usable.
Know if it’s too much or something else I have to disable the 4 GB limit from safe mode while booting otherwise It will get stuck at the building and all the icons will Remain gray unless I go and I disable it and then it goes fine
This is the latest version beta 5 I just installed a fresh install yesterday with the same issue
Also Trying to make this change permanent I entered the configuration kernal from the desktop, right click There was a text form of kernal Configuration I made it false Still, the issue remained So every time I have to boot up, I have to get into the safe mode and disable this option. I don’t know how to make a permanent.
