MacbookPro 2012 cannot boot Haiku on USB devices

[mauritslamers]

Because of problems with how USB is handled on certain Macbook Pro models (among which the 2012 version), the boot process of Haiku will crash with the message "did not find any boot partitions" and drop into the kernel debug console.

Possibly because of the same issue, the keyboard (which on this laptop is also a USB device) becomes unavailable as soon as the Haiku kernel is started. This also prevents creating a full kernel log, as no soft-reset or warm reboot is possible as the keyboard doesn't function.

What might be helpful though, is the dump from Linux of the USB stack. First lsusb:

There are two USB mass storage devices, one being the Sony USB stick with a Linux boot, and the other is the external hard disk which contains the Haiku installation.

Forgot to mention that I encountered this error using the 64bit version of Haiku. I didn't try the 32bit version.

Same issue on Macbook Pro 2014 version.

Port 1: Dev 10, If 0, Class=Mass Storage, Driver=usb-storage, 480M is a usb flash with Haiku. I used this one special uefi iso:

​https://keybase.pub/kallisti5/haiku-nightly-anyboot-efi.iso

[mauritslamers]

I tried to recreate the problem by using virtualbox, set it to use EFI, created a small image containing the haiku_loader.efi, and put an external disk with Haiku installed as USB3 (xhci) device as boot disk. I expected a similar issue, but it turns out this setup works without issues.

In the IRC channel, it was suggested that the cause of this problem is the xhci driver, which still might be the case. However, it then might have something to do specifically with the hardware as used in the mentioned Macbook Pros, as the xhci implementation in the Haiku kernel seems to be working fine with the interface as provided by VirtualBox v5.2.18 r 124319

[mauritslamers]

today I realized that despite not having a serial connection to get the kernel log, I could make a little video of the log as it is displayed. Because of autofocus issues, the videos themselves are not really worthy uploading, but after studying the code and the video, it seems the problem might be caused by the interrupt (IRQ channel) being 0. Comparing with the log from VirtualBox, the interrupt is there 0xff.

That would make this a dupe of #13188, which has been since fixed.
