Description

When i try to boot from CD (whitout harddisk):
Could not locate any supported boot devices!

But if i try the boot manager with any harddisk, i dont have this message.

So: CDROM is not recognized as a supported boot device.

You can try my boot floppy image here:

Strangly enough, but now i have this problem too, but i remember that i was able to boot haiku from pc 3 months ago and this bug opened 6 months ago, so there could be several problems. I attached serial debug log from vmware when haiku boots off cd.
I will attach another debug log of boot on native hw.

i can verify this problem. I have a known good haiku boot cd, with the latest image (oct 12th) When boot on compaq armada laptop it fails to find the befs partition (on the cd). The chipset is Intel 82440BX/ZX. Not really a kernel bug, looks like the haiku boot manager cannot see any drive(s) (my harddrive has beos max on it, should'nt it see that also?)

I get this same error on real hardware (Dell Latitude) with an encrypted hard disk. I used TrueCrypt to encrypt the whole system drive and Haiku won't boot. It shows the same "Could not mount boot device" error message.

Not sure if that helps but it's another scenario.
