Description
Booting the image "haiku-r1beta5-x86_64-anyboot.iso" from USB causes white debug screen to come up with a PANIC.
If I hold shift down on the black loading screen - I can select 'safe mode' - and the system will boot and it works (albeit very slowly).
This laptop is not (yet) attached to any network and Wifi is currently disabled (The orange light is showing on the 'wifi/F12' button.
(SHA265 of .iso confirmed as 22ae312a38e98083718b6984186e753d15806bd6ea44542144fdcef42c4dcb69)

It appears that if I disable the power management stuff in safe mode options - the OS boots up and works - and its pretty fast. Networking not working for me (using Ethernet) - although it did seem to correctly identify my DNS server.
The Teapot demo didn't work (OpenGL libraries not available)
Still: its all very impressive - congratulations on the team for getting things this far !

Debug Screen of booting Nightly build (hrev58529-x86_64) from USB
comment:3 by , 6 weeks ago
Tried nightly build (hrev58529-x86_64) - unfortunately still got a debug screen (attached).
I wasn't able to get safe mode to work on this build - but I didn't try every combination of options exhaustively.

Which safe mode options in particular work on the beta? "Fail-safe graphics driver"? Blocklisting ("Disable system components") of the "power" (CPUidle) drivers?

Update: I installed the Beta5 copy on my HDD - and aside from one debug/crash - everything worked brilliantly. MP3s play, MIDI files play, the teapots work, the Software Depot works.....
The one crash I saw when I first booted - seemed to be related (ironically) to the /sys/logs setting - I disabled that and restarted - everything worked.
For reference - this is the path I took:
- Booted-up Lubuntu from USB: used that to partition my disk - I added a ~16gb partition for Haiku - and left the rest for Linux.
- Installed Lubuntu
- Booted Haiku from USB - and told it to over-write my 16g partition.
- Rebooted to Lubuntu - edited my GRUB settings to add Haiku to my menu options.
- Rebooted - (I apparently needed to hold shift to get to the grub menu) - and selected Haiku.
It crashed initially (after red rocket, with the desktop blue just in view in the background) - but then I rebooted holding shift - and guessed from the previous DEBUG screen that the syslog might be related - switched it off and powered-down and back-up again.
Everything from this point is just pure Haiku Happiness !
Nice one - thanks again!
