Regression: Desktop is not shown any more in hp L1520

[Karvjorm]

2-3 days ago I updated my haiku-os system with the "pkgman update" command. When I now booted my system the next time, the Haiku desktop is not shown any more. Boot screen and all 7 icons are shown correctly but after that screen only a gray screen is shown. Technical details of my system is described in #6324 . I am using Hewlett Packard L1520 display (because out of range mode with the LG Flatron LCD display described in #13765 is still valid).

Seems to have similar symptoms to those described in the comments of #14667 following the fix of that ticket. Please see if the workaround also works for you (i.e. blacklist one or the other of your network device drivers, and see if that makes the problem go away.)

Also, what hrev and architecture are you on?

I upgraded to Haiku R1/beta1 using CD-ROM, but after it I have only used "pkgman update" to update my system. So I have no idea about hrev, because I cannot see any information about the system just now.

I tried even a computer mode of my Philips TV display, but the behaviour was the same: only the boot screen is shown. After it an error message "This video mode cannot be shown" is shown on TV display.

I have a Pentium III (Coppermine) CPU (as shown at #6324) and gcc2 system.

Can you try blacklisting the entire dev/net drivers directory and see what happens?

OK, now this system started to work. I had 3 network cards, one internal and two add-on cards. I removed D-Link DFE-538TX Rev.D2 and AZTECH M8P3885-E cards. And started to use only internal network card of that desktop computer. And after it the system booted and started normally.

That Pentium III information above is not correct (it is for another haiku computer of mine). In this system I have Intel Pentium 4 Celeron (1,72GHz) and Walter hrev52525 x86_gcc2 created November 13, 2018.

Can you retest with a recent nightly?
