Haiku bootloader resets Dell Inspiron B130

Description

While trying to install Haiku hrev39939 gcc2hybrid on 3rd primary partition of an Inspiron B130 laptop, I was unable to get it to chainload from grub. The stage 1 loads, but I can never get to the boot menu holding down the Space key.

I was, however, able to get a little debug output by holding down ESC after the bootloader starts, but I had to use a video camera to capture it since it flies by so quickly. Attached is a screenshot from the video I took showing the output before it reboots.

Next steps to debug?

I found a bunch old USB sticks with different revisions of Haiku on them - some boot on this laptop, some reset.

I was able to get hrev34427 to boot, while hrev35141 fails.

I will continue to bisect revisions between these until I find the culprit.

Further bisecting of raw images from haiku-files.org leads me to the conclusion that hrev34934 works, but hrev35081 fails.

Time to dig the commits.

Narrowed down to hrev34948 as the culprit.

Looks like an ACPI tweak.
