Can't boot from usb or cd

[taos]

I'm usually running haiku on an old 2003 laptop. In order to save time building haiku, I decided to test haiku on more recent hardware. Unfortunately, I've been not very lucky. I've tried to boot haiku on three different computers but haven't succeeded once.

All tested boot media work on my laptop.

Boot media:

• usb card reader with microsd cards:

1.) Intel partition table, hrev47417 (pkgman upgraded nightly), gcc2 hybrid 2.) GPT partition table, hrev47417 (self-built), gcc2 hybrid

• cd:

3.) latest nightly iso, hrev47380, gcc2 hybrid

All three computers share the same boot failure symptoms.

Usb media with haiku can be chosen via BIOS/UEFI boot menu. Booting fails every time with a message similiar to "OS not found"/"Can't load operating system". It's not possible to open haiku boot menu by holding shift key.

When booting from cd, haiku boot menu is available by holding shift. However, even by activating all safe mode options, it's not possible to boot to the desktop. All I see is the haiku logo with the six (?) icons below. None of these will light up. Boot process won't progress any further.

Here some details for the computers:

Small update for computer A (I usually check every month with a new haiku revision):

I could boot from a hrev48397 64bit anyboot image written to a microsd card. I only had to enable fail-safe video mode for the integrated intel HD4000 of the i3-3225 CPU. With intel-extreme I can't see anything after the boot splash screen (my display is connected via DisplayPort and just shuts down to standby after a minute). From listdev:

device Display controller (VGA compatible controller, VGA controller) [3|0|0]
  vendor 8086: Intel Corporation
  device 0162: Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller

This seems to be a known problem with hd4000 integrated graphics (#11180).

Wifi also doesn't work (even after firmware installation). It's a broadcom bcm43228 chip:

device Network controller [2|80|0]
  vendor 14e4: Broadcom Corporation
  device 4359: BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n

It seems it's not on the list of broadcom chips supported by bwn in FreeBSD 11.

I've attached a syslog of a successful boot in vesa mode and outputs of listdev, listusb, and listimage.

Unfortunately, so far, I haven't had enough time to check if this computer could also boot from an anyboot gcc2 hybrid image or from hard disk.

Update: Yes, it can also boot from a recent anyboot gcc2 hybrid image - and from a 64-bit installation on a microSD card (in a USB3 card reader plugged into a USB3 port).

I'll try to check if the other two computers can now also boot from a 64bit boot medium.

Update for computer C: I'm now able to boot from a gcc2 hybrid anyboot image as well as a 64bit system installed on a 16 GB microSD card (Intel partition map, 1 bfs partition). I don't have to blacklist anything.

Any news from computer B then?

Any news from computer B then?

I might be able to test on computer B when/if I get it back in a few months...

[tojoko]

#1 While bootin', please try hittin' space and shift alternative

#2 Please make sure there is no additional device, which could be confused with the boot medium connected to the system while bootin' (like another usb stick).

I'll probably never be able to check if haiku boots on computer B. Our IT guy told me that he stripped 8 or 9 computers (including "B") for parts last month.

Ok then, closing this ticket since:

• A is tracked in #11180
• B does not exist anymore
• C is now working fine.

Thanks for your testing efforts!
