Description

I can't booting Haiku, none of icons not lightning on booting screen. Most likely kernel isn't loading. Unfortunately, I cannot debug this state, cause even enabling on-screen log from boot menu, it’s not appearing. USB keyboard (and all USB devices) not working after starting boot, but PS/2 keyboard is working, I can reboot PC with Ctrl-Alt-Del on it. I’ve tried safe mode, various modes in boot menu, tried boot from USB, CD, SATA and NVMe drives, legacy and UEFI boot, x86 and x86_64 latest nightly builds (hrev56465 aswell). Another thing that I’ve noticed - when I’m booting, USB keyboard is turning off any LED and backlight, mouse is losing connection with Logitech Unifying and trying to find it again (blinking LED).

Check if you get the same result with previous releases.

I made some tests and, finally, it's booting and successfully working! I used CMS/BIOS boot from CD with hrev55671 (x86) on it , but loaded last x86_64 version, installed on SATA drive. It's working only with ticked "Ignore memory beyond 4 GiB". When I back on EFI loader, I made same thing, but it don't work again with same symptoms.

Not booting via MBR/BIOS on Ryzen without "4GB memory limit" is a known problem. The EFI loader should work around it; do note that a lot of systems boot via the legacy BIOS over EFI if that is enabled.
