Cannot get latest image to boot

Description

Trying to install Haiku :)

Downloaded the latest image <http://mirror.rit.edu/haiku/r1beta4/haiku-r1beta4-x86_64-anyboot.iso> and booting it on my UEFI system.

It hangs at the boot screen. Holding space and turning on safe mode causes a reboot.

I'm very happy to try anything.

A lot of people are very keen to see me try Haiku. https://social.coop/@mattl/112158655675850888

What does "hang at the boot screen" mean? Do any icons light up? When you turn on safe mode, where does it reboot?

comment:2 by mattl, 8 months ago

Nothing lights up.

Safe mode shows the boot screen (nothing lights up still) and then reboots after a second.

Can you try launching the loader from an EFI shell? There are some other tickets that indicate this makes things somehow work.

comment:4 by mattl, 8 months ago

I'm not 100% sure that I have an EFI shell. This machine has no other operating system on it.

comment:5 by mattl, 8 months ago

I have installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Server on the machine if that helps get an EFI Shell present.

comment:6 by waddlesplash, 8 months ago

It does not. The EFI Shell is an EFI application. Some EFI BIOSes have it built in. If yours doesn't, you can get a binary from the Tianocore EDK2 archive: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-archive/tree/master/ShellBinPkg/UefiShell
