No boot path found, scan for all partitions.

[Premislaus]

After two years I decided to return to Haiku, but I can't boot into Haiku. I tested recent nightlies. The oldest is hrev50657, the newest is hrev50857. I checked anyboot and raw, gcc2hybrid and x86_64. I'm booting in CSM OS mode, from USB 2.0. The ISO image is written to flash stick under Linux, using dd.

fdisk /dev/sdb

/dev/sdb1 * 8192 1236991 1228800 600M eb BeOS fs

You can watch the entire boot process - ​https://youtu.be/XHaMjqe1Jtc

I can boot only to Haiku Bootloader, but Bootloader can't see any partitions. For a second I see a truncated caption in the upper left corner - "No (or wrong) boot path found, scan for all partitions".

This is a laptop - np355v5c-so5 (AMD APU). Today I borrowed another laptop, Lenovo g50-30 (Intel Bay Trail), by there is the same. EFI is updated.

I remembered that two years ago I had no problem with that. I downloaded the alpha4, I set boot order and it worked normally - ​http://imgur.com/gallery/HgAh4

Many years ago I had similar problem, on different computer - https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8766

A capture of the bootlog (you can access that from the menu and take pictures) could show some hint.

It looks like Haiku detects a GPT partition table only (this wasn't supported in alpha4 days so it wasn't a problem). I suggest erasing the two *last* sectors of your drive, that should erase the GPT which is stored both at start and end of the disk precisely to make it harder to accidentally erase.

The simplest solution is to dd if=/dev/zero on the whole drive, then rewrite the boot image over that. It makes sure there are no leftover from previous things you did with the drive.

Sorry, doesn't help.
