#6710 closed bug

Large sized boot logos can prevent booting. — at Version 10

Reported by: idefix Owned by: phoudoin
Priority: normal Milestone: R1
Component: System/Boot Loader Version: R1/Development
Keywords: Cc:
Blocked By: Blocking:
Platform: x86

Description (last modified by mmadia)

Recent anyboot nightlies (burned to cdrom) reboot immediately after loading the bootimage (dots appearing). Holding shift won't get it to the boot options. There is no serial output.

Probably caused by changeset:38890 and/or changeset:38891.

Yup, haiku-nightly-r38882-x86gcc2hybrid-cd.zip boots fine, while haiku-nightly-r38892-x86gcc2hybrid-cd.zip reboots immediately.

No, haiku-nightly-r38892-x86gcc4hybrid-anyboot.zip boots fine.

Very strange...

Could it be an issue with haiker_loader size, the development boot splash image is quitte bigger than the release one (and way bigger than the 1x1 one for non official build ;-) )

But that won't explain that gcc4 anyboot is not affected.

Well it's definitely a gcc2 issue.

haiku-nightly-r38892-x86gcc4-anyboot.zip also boots fine, while haiku-nightly-r38892-x86gcc2-anyboot.zip reboots immediately.

for info, gcc4's haiker_loader is 297kb. As the boot archive image offset is set to 300kb, I smell some size limit issue here.
