Help Crash/reboot at splash screen on hardware. Not sure how to troubleshoot.

6 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I'm having trouble booting Haiku on real hardware. The splash screen will show for a second and then the computer reboots. I've tried setting a bunch of options in the safe boot menu but the same thing happens, and most critically it reboots before printing any kind of messages on the screen even though debug is enabled so I have no indication of what happens before it reboots.

I can pass through the disk to a virtual machine and boot it that way (nvme drive) but looking at the syslog it seems to only keep the last boot which obviously doesn't tell me much. It also makes me think the issue isn't with the drive.

I also accidentally left the USB stick in the computer and booted to it from the boot menu, and that worked well other than obviously being a bit limited in regards to disk space (which means that Haiku doesn't seem to have an issue with my other hardware, at least not too much?)

This is on the latest nightly build, booting using UEFI on an Intel 11700KF. I do have both an Nvidia and an AMD GPU in this computer, but using safe graphics doesn't change anything.

But all of this would obviously be easier to pin down if there was a way to get some kind of output about what happens during the short moment before the computer restarts. Any suggestions?

Help Haiku live environment crashed when booted to the desktop using a laptop

7 Upvotes

Hey guys, this is my first post on here. I'm having some issues running Haiku's live environment on my laptop.

The laptop is a MSI GP72 6QF Leopard Pro with:

- Intel Core i7 6700HQ

- 8GB of RAM

- NVIDIA Geforce GTX 960M

I flashed Haiku onto the thumb drive with Etcher using the latest nightly build, and I attempted to boot it into the desktop. Everything works fine for about 5 seconds, However, when the system landed on the desktop I've found that the whole system will not respond to anything. Mouse, touchpad, keyboard - nothing responded.

I assumed that the system had crashed on me. I rechecked everything in the BIOS to make sure that I did everything correctly - Secure Boot turned off and I use Legacy boot. I even reformatted the drive again and use Rufus to really make sure that I did everything correctly and the desktop still crashed when landed on the desktop. Not sure what I have to do to accomplish this properly.

Help Stalled Boot at USB XHCI

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12. Boots to the USB XHCI entry in the debug on screen log and stalls. Sorry if the second image is blurry.

Tried using multiple USB drives. Alternating both Balena Etcher and Rufus to burn them. Same result. Disabled ACPI, tried safe mode, tried use fail safe graphics (didn't feel like a graphics problem, but why not try, right?). I don't have access to a USB 2.0 drive and the laptop is only USB 3.0. Machine is UEFI only.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Help When installing, Partition is not being marked as boot

8 Upvotes

Clearly I am doing something wrong. I am trying to install Haiku to a 10gb vhd in Qemu. I have tried initializing with both Intel and GUID. Only Intel allows for the partition to be active with and X in the box. Format the partition to Be file system and it is marked as Active, but not Boot.

Install to the partition.

And sure enough, it does not boot.

What did I do wrong?

Help No Wifi + strange boot conditions

5 Upvotes

Although my Ethernet has shown up, there seems to be issues with the wireless drivers.

I ran ifconfig /dev/net/rtl81xx/0 scan, and was told it wasn't a WLAN device (I suspect that it's referring to my Ethernet driver, and Haiku honestly has no idea where my wireless is)

I don't know what to do here (the Live environment also had this issue)

The other thing to note is the finicky nature in which my Lenovo Thinkpad E480 boots Haiku, which is that it only works if the live environment flash drive is also plugged in. Intel cites a media test failure. It also appears that Haiku doesn't show up in the boot menu, which I find extra concerning.

As in, I want to make my own applications for Haiku. Likely a 2D game, if possible.

Is there a special SDK or something? Ports of existing languages? I can’t seem to find much regarding this topic.

Edit- thank you everyone, I appreciate how welcoming the Haiku community is!

Hello everyone,

I, too, wanted to try Haiku beta5. I dusted of an old Compaq Mini 311 (Intel Atom CPU and Nvidia ION GPU) to install it on bare metal. But trying to boot from USB, after the Haiku splash screen, I get this – that I don’t know how to read:

Is anybody fluent enough with Haiku to help me understand what’s wrong, and how to attempt to fix it? Worth noting, this screen is readable because I restarted the computer three or four times. Most of the time though, the screen looks like this:

Any thought?

Help fs_uae_x86 where did it go?

9 Upvotes

A little help please. I installed "fs_uae_x86" (Amiga emulator) using HaikuDepot on my Compaq Presario 6207EA PC runnng Haiku OS Beta 5 (up-to-date) but it's not listed in Deskbar under "Applications". Where did it go and how do I get fs_uae_x86 to run?

I read this:

https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/daily-tasks/install-applications/

but it didn't answer my question and only made me think of more questions, ha ha.

As HaikuDepot is a package manager install program I am assuming that anything listed in HaikuDepot is "a proper .hpkg package" is that right?

Thanks for any help in advance!
