Hi, I run Haiku on my desktop. I have recently been given an oldish laptop, a Compaq Presario 2500, I pulled it down and replaced the Celeron cpu with a P4, cleaned all the dust etc and re-assembled it.
I then reinstalled Xp on it leaving a 4 gig partition for Haiku.
I booted Haiku from the CD drive and all went well, so decided to install to the aforesaid partition.
I initialised the part with the installer and then went on to install, but no go! It appeared to do a screen dump.
I didn’t go any further, but would be interested on any thoughts someone might have as to why no install.
cheers,
Eddie.
The information to the crash is in the screen dump (KDL). Without it, impossible to guess what the reason can be.
The error message is near the top followed by debugging information. Search for similar error here:

Only look in tickets (bugs).
Ok, thanks.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic I finally got time to get through some old stuff I have around the house and surprise surprise…
Latest Haiku anyboot installed worked just fine on my Compaq Presario 2500.
Still working on the the networking issues but the OS runs pretty smooth though.
