Way back in December or January when I bought this new box, Haiku booted on it directly off the hard drive from its own partition. A few weeks or maybe a couple months later, I tried the latest build like normal, but it wouldn't boot.
I've tried a build every few weeks or so ever since then without ever having it
boot. I've tried the Haiku bootloader and the R5 one.
I boot my PC. Bootman comes up with BeOS Max, BeOS Min (R5.0.3 Pro with AMD patch), and Haiku. I pick Haiku. I right away get the text screen (like when one presses spacebar on bootup) of the Haiku bootloader asking me to select a boot volume, and none are detected, no matter how many times I rescan for volumes.
PS, I'm not sure about the 64-bit thing in the specs there. It is a Sempron 3100+ in the box, but I'm pretty sure 64-bit processors don't come in bottom-end (< 400 CAD) machines like this one.
Any ideas? I'm salivating over all the new developments that I keep hearing of.
It'd be great to try to burn a CD straight from my OGGs. Converting from OGG
to MP3 using vlc and then burning sounds like RealAudio Internet radio stations from eight years ago. ;-)
Thanks, Kev
