[Solved] Doesn't boot, times out on USB a lot, ends in panic

I’m trying to boot off a normal Haiku beta 5 ISO flashed to a USB drive. By default, it seemingly freezes on the splash screen with all icons dark. Turning on all the safe mode options (not sure which one did the trick) gets three icons lit up before it gets stuck.

Turning on screen text output shows that it’s taking a long time timing out on USB-related things. It would also repeatedly say something about new devices being connected as seen in this picture.

After a few minutes of this, it finally crashes into the kernel debugger with the reason being that it didn’t find any boot partition.

Booting from this same USB drive works with no related problems on a different machine (trackpad problems on that one, a well known issue it seems).

The motherboard is a Gigabyte B450M DS3H-CF. In case the CPU is relevant, it’s a Ryzen 7 2700X.

Given that it’s a Gigabyte motherboard, please check this link:

If the case is UEFI related, then there you can find a workaround to be able to boot into Haiku to install it and add the bootloader to the ESP.

Thanks! Turning off CSM in the UEFI settings seems to have done the trick.

(side-question: is there any particular action I should take here on the forum now that the problem is resolved or do I just leave the thread to sit here?)

If you want you can add a “[solved]” to the thread title, but this is not really required.
