[Boot Fail] Boot fail with AMD APU.

[HaikuBot]

Specs: CPU: AMD APU Liano A3850. MB: GA-A75-S2V.

Haiku can't boot from USB-stick. No DVD-drive so can't test ISO. Even Haiku-loader not started. It wait for sometime (about 30 secs blinking symbol "_") and then boot Windows. From the same USB-stick Haiku successfully booted on laptop (Intel based, core-i3). Hiren boot CD successfully boot on this AMD machine, from USB-stick.

What revision? What GCC flavour? Nightly or home brewed? Anyboot or raw?

The latter part is the most interesting question here. Some BIOSes are a bit more picky about the structure of devices they'll boot from, so it may be a case of it rejecting e.g. a partition without a proper MBR. If that's the case, and the image being written to the usb stick is raw, then trying anyboot instead may indeed deal with it here.

[HaikuBot]

Last revision, I try both gcc2 and gcc4. I get raw-image nightly and wrote it via ​https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer and also via "dd" from linux.

[anevilyak]

Can you try with an anyboot image instead then? i.e. ​http://haiku-files.org/haiku/development/haiku-nightly-hrev44065-x86gcc2hybrid-anyboot.zip

[HaikuBot]

Okay, just tried anyboot, now I can see boot screen, but no one icon flashed.

Apparently your BIOS is picky about what it'll recognize as bootable then. That part at least isn't a Haiku problem. As far as the boot loader hanging though, does disabling ACPI and/or SMP make a difference?

[HaikuBot]

With this settings I got 3 flashed icons:

Here on sreen debug output:

[anevilyak]

Are you by any chance able to grab a syslog with those options, as described in ReportingBugs?

[HaikuBot]

No, after unsuccessful booting, I haven't menu entries "Display syslog from previous session" and "Save syslog from previous session" in Debug menu.

[anevilyak]

Without more information, looks like possibly a PCI problem.

[anevilyak]

Didn't mean to change components...

[HaikuBot]

Tested with Alpha3 and got same results.

[HaikuBot]

Any ideas? I tried unplug all devices, no any changes... I'd like to run Haiku on my PC.

[modeenf]

Have you tested to pick all the settings in the safe mode window?

Sure. Here hrev44510: ​http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4Af_Ed2pYs&hd=1 (without "onscreendebug enable", I got only first 3 flashed icons).

[HaikuBot]

Ubuntu, Parted Magic, DSL, Fedora all this distros boot and work successfully.

[HaikuBot]

Here new output that I got on hrev44555: This one I got when activate only first line in "safe mode options" (i.e. Safe Mode). And onscreendebug + disable pagining in debug option.

This One I got when activate all option in "safe mode options". And onscreendebug + disable pagining in debug option.

[HaikuBot]

Tested on "haiku-hrevr1alpha4-44699-releasecandidate-anyboot" no any changes...

[HaikuBot]

Same here on Alpha 4.1...

[HaikuBot]

Hello from Alpha 2

[HaikuBot]

Here hello from Alpha 2:

One thing you might try is to remove the hard drive from that computer and use a different computer to install Haiku onto that harddrive and then put it back into the machine you took it from. I have a laptop that I'm going to try the same thing with as it has issues booting from CD and USB.

[pulkomandy]

Hi, Any update on this during the last two years?

[HaikuBot]

Hey. Will test tomorrow.

[kallisti5]

HaikuBot: Any results? If you have been unable to test, this one will be bumped to the unscheduled milestone.

Thanks!
