Hello. Related to this:
There are some way to upgrade from a current nightly to this branch?
I just must change the repo url pointing to this url, and do a pkgman full-sync, I guess. Or I’m missing something?
Thanks!!!
Heard the news of an unofficial beta build (for real this time) from R1 Beta 1 Testing Image - Pre-RC! Awesome – I look forward to showing this on my blog soon as I can! 
Yeah, that sounds about right.
Pretty much adjust your branch in the Haiku repo url from ‘master’ to ‘r1beta1’ and do a full sync. Technically you’ll be downgrading to the beta, but you’ll get the ‘stabilization fixes’ in it. (aka disabling known broken things, etc)
There isn’t a branch for HaikuPorts, and i’m not 100% we’re going to do one for the r1beta1… I think most people want bleeding edge ports.

Will the Beta 1 support booting on EFI x64 machines? Are current ISO/images ready for that?
I’m ready to do some tests 
Yes, I believe so. I wish that they supported EFI on 32-bit machines as well… but unfortunately not.
Haiku 32-bit hrev52292 doesn’t work on IBM T23 laptop (Intel Pentium III, 1024 Mb RAM): while booting live-CD it say “PANIC: attempting to clone non-user-cloneable kernel area”.
Will R1/beta1 support Intel P-III CPUs?
P.S. I can’t try hrev52295 because it doesn’t fit to CD image (803 Mb is much more than 700Mb).
This is actually an SMAP related error in the s3 video driver / accelerant. We don’t see many s3 chipsets anymore, so it went undetected.
I’ve opened a bug report for you here: #14443 (S3 SMAP Violation at boot.) – Haiku
As a workaround, you can disable SMAP protection in the bootloader menu.

Workaraund [Shift] - “Select safe mode options” - “Use fail-safe graphics driver” allows me to boot Haiku from liveCD on my hardware. Thank you.
Unfortunately, WebPositive still crashes with “Invalid opcode exception” as described here: https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/14060
I am getting a kernel panic when trying to boot the hrev52302 x64 anyboot iso from an usb stick on a Mac:
I guess it’s related to Boot from USB fails with “Haiku: Panic: did not find boot partitions”
Also the keyboard (wired usb) doesn’t work in the debugger.
Could you try this image and see if it is resolved?

If it works for you I can slip it into the r1beta1 branch

Yeah, Mac’s are tricky. We do have a UEFI bootloader (which seems to work better in these situations), but it isn’t build as part of the image yet. (nor do we have an automatic installation process if you’re installing to your machine)
@jessicah is working on that, but didn’t make the r1beta1 branch. We still have some hope thought she’ll finish it up before R1 beta1 is released.
I confirm that hrev52309 image works well directly, without any workarounds. Thank you.

Interesting.
Now the r1beta1 rc 1 is out with the hrev52295 and additional there is now the normal hrev52309 out.
Which one is more stable and more mature?
Before I thoughted, that after the r1beta1 rc1, all upcomming versions are r1beta1 rcs until r1beta1 is published.
The other possibility would be, that Haiku would be forked: An stable r1beta1 tree and a tree with additional features, which will not be included in r1beta1.
But the revision number is an upcounting number and hrev52309 is not as r1beta1 rc marked.

My humble wish to the release is to the installation image to fit to CD (700Mb). Is it possible?
Read the mailing list, the articles and the dev.haiku-os.org tickets, you will find all the required info, it is discussed recently.
Whoa, no, it’s not the official beta release candidate yet. The thread refers to it as pre-RC; that means the rc is yet to come.
That’s just the the Haiku built from the master branch, nothing special.
Have now tried out the r1beta1rc1 hrev52295.
At the moment I have as general a problem with my mouse. Don’t know if is the computer, the mouse or the cable of it. On Linux and Windows from time to time it is, like I removing my USB-mouse and input it again.
But on Haiku it ended up, that is is only like removing it. At some point I couldn’t use it no longer. So I have rebootet to an other OperatingSystem, where it works. I assume, that rebooting Haiku woul working, too - until the mouse or computer gives again the signal, that it was removed.
Nice to see that R1/beta1 might be coming out soon. I’ve been using Haiku on various machines, on and off, for a couple of years, and I have no complaints and very few suggestions for it. Right now I’m using hrev52312 on an IBM ThinkPad T42 - runs much faster than its original Windows XP installation. Have to hand it to the devs, in my opinion Haiku’s turning out awesomely.
