#19356 new bug

Compaq Presario CQ56; white debug screen

Reported by: haiku_johnny Owned by:
Priority: normal Milestone: Unscheduled
Component: System/Boot Loader/BIOS Version: R1/beta5
Keywords: Cc:
Blocked By: Blocking:
Platform: x86-64

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)

Please test with a nightly build.

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 !

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?
