Description (last modified by )
Hello! I have a DELL Inspiron 410 (2013) (https://www.dell.com/ba/p/desktops/inspiron-zino-hd-410/pd) BIOS set to default, though there where only a few possibilities to set.
I created a USB Stick with Haiku haiku-r1beta2-hrev54154_111-x86_64-anyboot (and also the latest nightly build). Haiku boots fine on a newer ASUS AiO PC from 2017.
The Dell Inspiron reboots and reboots without showing the boot screen. Holding SHIFT leads to nothing else then a reboot, too. USB Stick blinks for a moment, then the PC reboots.
I removed all the hard disks to check if that's the problem. Other OS (Solus OS, Manjaro, Linux Mint, GhostBSD) on the same USB Stick burned the same way (with MultiWriter or SuSe Studio ImageWriter) work.
Tried with two different USb Sticks (4GB and 16 GB)

Please give me some advice what I could try or how I could help resolve this problem. Thanks!

If it's booting with UEFI you may need to use spacebar instead of shift to access the boot menu.
If that also doesn't work, this could be not so easy to debug without a serial port.

tried yesterday with beta5 - still same problem - I am neither able to get into the boot loader options

beta5 is not a "recent nightly"; please test with a nightly build from the last few days.

tried it with hrev58455-x86_64 a few minutes ago - same problem. I am neither able to enter haiku boot menu. The bios setup is very limited, nearly no config possibilities. Last time I removed HD, installed Haiku on it and put it back in the PC - that worked

Ahoy Thaflo !
I found in specs this PC came with AMD Athlon II X2 P360 processor, which is a 64 bit capable one.
So I assume you would install 64 bit Haiku on it. Now, I have the following question : Has your Dell desktop PC a UEFI BIOS or just simple BIOS ?
As for Haiku 64 bit boots only with UEFI, so for the installer drive must be a UEFI capable one. In the firmware the Secure boot should be OFF.
I used to generate a boot list to launch both the installer USB thumbdrive and the installed one. If you have a simple Legacy BIOS, then I suggest to try out 32bit Haiku installer.
(However interesting that elsewhere installed Haiku onto HDD - can be booted... if I understood well your last sentence
"Last time I removed HD, installed Haiku on it and put it back in the PC - that worked.")

Hi! Indeed it's just a simple BIOS. I tried the latest 32bit version of Haiku, same rebooting all the time. BIOS version is from 2010, I'll try to update it to the latest version (from 2013).
