Description
I tried to install Haiku in my old PC. I couldn't. The steps was,
a) I used the Haiku's CD b) First, I mounted my HDD. I couldn't unmount it neither format it. c) First reboot. I formatted my HDD and installation started. It freezed in archive 207. d) 2nd reboot. I repeat all the operation and installation freezed in archive number 129. e) 3rd reboot. I could to install it. I was moving mouse all time to avoid freeze. f) I start Haiku. Icons start to get color but it freezes in 'chip' icon. g) New reboot. I can start Haiku without any problem. h) I switch on the PC later and again, system freezes when 'chip' icon is getting color (2 times more) or in 'rocket' icon (2 times). i) I install Windows XP and all goes perfect only in 1 attempt.
PC:
—Mainboard DFI AK76 SN Rev B —RAM: PC-2100-CL 2.5 DDR 266 (2 of 1 Gb each one) —HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200, 10 (160 Gb IDE) —Graphics: NVidia 64 —Processor: AMD Athlon XP 1500+ (32 bits) —BIOS: Award Modular 6.00 PG (last update 04/03/2002) —Mouse and keyboard used in integrated USB 2.0 —Network: https://approx.es/producto/apppci1000v2/ (not important. If I remove this PCI, problem goes on).
In Live mode I can use/see Haiku without errors.
I am not programmer. I don't know if you need more info. If so, say it to me. And congrats. I love Haiku, but... I cannot use it :o/
