Description
Haiku was installed on real hardware (dedicated hard drive, Shuttle SN41G2 barebone with 1Gb RAM, nForce2 chipset, NV40 GeForce 6800 video card, no other additional cards than video for now, CD burner). I tried both the alpha ISO and the revision 34648 nightly build ISO hybrid GCC2 from december 12th (http://haiku-files.org/cd/haiku-nightly-r34648-x86gcc2hybrid-cd.zip).
I downloaded ISO, burnt it, booted from CD: when I was offered the choice between running from live CD or calling installer, I called installer. Installation went fine. I removed the CD and rebooted.
When booting, the desktop background and mouse pointer appear but that's all I get: it instantly freezes before the desktop icons even display and the tracker doesn't appear either: neither keyboard nor mouse respond, and the only way I can reboot is using the hardware reset button.
In order to boot the system and be able to use it, I have to press the space bar before Haiku bootscreen turns on, and in the menu choose the very first entry "Safe Mode". I have tried various combinations of other entries (video-safe mode, disable BIOS acess, disable DMA, etc.) but none of them allows me to boot, only the very first "Safe Mode" entry seems to enable me to boot properly.
I have not been able to find syslog (opened Terminal, cd'ed to /var, listed the directory contents, didn't see any log subdirectory in it???).
I am suspecting an audio problem because fail-safe video/VESA doesn't help, but if I boot in safe mode and turn media server on, everything hangs/freezes instantly??

To be sure, you could manually launch the media_server (under /boot/system/servers/). If that still doesn't lock up, try launching the net_server from the same directory.

Many thanks for the fast answers. Here are some more info:
-> after starting in safe mode, I opened a Terminal and started the net_server manually from there: no hang, and the network worked perfectly (DHCP gave me an address in less than a few seconds and I could ping my ISP's servers).
So I started manually the media_server, and the system froze! Since it was started from Terminal I have some echoed messages telling me what was going on, and I also could fire up KDL to capture ints.
-> Here is the last Terminal output of media_server before freeze: AddOnManager::_RegisterDecoder, name vorbis AddOnManager::_RegisterAddOn(): trying to load "/boot/system/add-ons/media/plugins/wav_reader" AddOnManager::_RegisterReader, name wav_reader
-> Here is the output of ints command in KDL: int 1, enabled 1, handled 345, unhandled 0, ACTIVE

ah... wiki formatting killed my efforts :) I can provide the screenshot of the error if needed _
comment:5 by , 14 years ago
Thanks for the info! You might want to use {{{ and !}}} surround output such as that from the ints command next time.
Anyway, the ints output doesn't look that suspicious yet - since the auich driver is already working, how did you enter KDL if the system hang? Just by pressing "alt-sysreq-d" as usual?
Also, you could try to remove the firewire driver to see if that brings any difference.
comment:6 by , 14 years ago
I'm wondering why/how firewire is present, I thought we took it out of the default image?
comment:8 by , 14 years ago
Hello, I have now proof that it's the media_server failing :) First, answers: yes yesterday I entered KDL by pressing "alt-sysreq-d".
Here is now what I did: installed the latest nightly again (hrev34684), tried to boot with on screen debug: result was freeze again, and no possiblity to enter KDL (alt-sysreq-d didn't work that time).
So I rebooted in safe mode, sent firewire driver to Trash, and edited my Bootscript file: the only change I did was to comment out the two lines that launch media_server and midi_server. I rebooted normally, and tada! Haiku was there working fine with working network, backgrounds, etc. :) So I opened a Terminal and tailed syslog to monitor changes in it, opened another Terminal and launched media_server from there... and I was thrown to KDL without even having to request it this time _ In KDL I pictured ints, teams, threads of the media_server team. I wanted to take pictures of the sems but there were too many out there and I gave up after the 5th screen ;-) PLease find below transcript of this output (syslog tail, media_server last messages in the Terminal, ints, threads of the media_server team):

broken in 36769 gcc2 hybrid. same issues.auchi driver
Here is Listdev output.
The issue is with the media server to kernel hook and this specific device driver, open sound garners the same result. Either the driver formating is wrong or the kernel has a vulnerability.
Looking into the driver currently.
Welcome to the Haiku shell.

Indeed. A problem with audio is most likely, since the media_server is not started in safe mode. When the system freezes, you could try to enter the kernel debugger with Alt-SysReq-D and in the KDL, you could type "ints" to get information about interrupts. It sounds a bit like it is an interrupt storm.
