Problems with installing Haiku

Hello! Installing Haiku via dd to USB on HP Compaq nx9105. Hard drive wiped (no FS). After selecting USB boot — Error: 0x…(photo). Attached bootloader settings. Hardware compatibility issue? Thanks!

Hello!

Currently you need to carefully set up your disk for Haiku to work. This usually means:

  • creating a partition table (mbr or gpt, as you prefer)
  • creating a partition with the right type, and “active” if you use mbr
  • setting up a master boot record (done automatically if you create the partition table with drivesetup, other tools may or may not do it
  • formatting the partition as bfs
  • finally copying all files to the partition using installer

If you skipped some steps, that may explain your problem. Also make sure your hard disk is supported (anything sata or nvme should be fine, but emmc and scsi are currently lacking drivers and will not work)
