Haiku doesn't detect boot partition on real hardware

[plfiorini]

I built Haiku rev22448 (compiled on Linux 32bit with gcc 2.95) and tried to run it on real hardware, it boots and shows the Haiku logo but suddenly it goes in KDL with a message like this:

PANI: didn't find boot partition

I generated the images with

jam haiku-vmware-image.

Both haiku.image and haiku.vmdk works (tested with qemu-kvm and VMware Server on openSUSE 10.3 32bit).

Made the /dev/sda5 partition of type BeOS (tried with 100MB and even up to 500MB), then tried to dd the image:

dd if=generated/haiku.image of=/dev/sda5 jam run ":<build>makebootable" /dev/sda5

If I mount /dev/sda5 with the (readonly) BFS file system on Linux I see the Haiku folders and files so it seems that the dd went ok.

Grub is configured like this:

title Haiku

rootnoverify (hd0,1) chainloader (hd0,4)+1

Unfortunately I don't have any serial port so I can't send the serial debug output.

I tried now with hrev22527 and it boots. It wasn't a grub configuration problem because I tried your suggestion and it's the same. Maybe the recent partition changes made it working for me? Anyway now I have a completely different problem: frequency out of range, I'll open an issue.

I haven't changed anything related in the disk device manager in the meantime, so I suppose, an AHCI related changed must have fixed. Anyway, closing the ticket.
