Can't boot from HD / KDL On Boot with Anyboot

[scanty]

Hello All. This morning I tried to install Haiku to its own hard drive and had absolutely no success in doing so. I used an alpha 4.1 ISO to do this. GRUB found Haiku automagically, but couldn't boot it. I just get a black screen with a flashing cursor in the upper left corner.

I then tried anyboot from a USB stick (two different brands, Lexar and Kingston) and both caused a KDL on boot. I have attached a photo of the kernel output, but beware, it is not the best photo because I have hand-tremor from taking Lithium. It should however be clear enough to decipher what's going on. Hope we can resolve these bugs as I'd like to move away from VirtualBox and get onto real hardware.

KDL output from anyboot alpha 4.1

Note, with anyboot, I used 3 of the latest hrevs, as well as alpha 4.1

What was the actual panic line above "Welcome to Kernel Debugging Land"?

This new kernel panic is from the latest nightly, as of April 15, 2013

What was the top right of that screen out of curiosity? It should show the file where the assertion failure occurred.

[anevilyak]

It would also help to know more about the hardware in this system.

The system is a new HP Z220 workstation. There are 4x 3.2GHz Xeons, and 8GB of RAM. Display is nVidia Quadro K600. and sound is intel. It came with a 500GB drive, and I installed an extra 250GB drive just for haiku. That's pretty much it

[anevilyak]

Looks like a VM problem of some kind in any case.

Here is the panic assertion. Since it is very hard for me to take pictures, I transcribed it by hand. I hope there are no typos.

PANIC ASSERT FAILED (/Buildbot/nightly-uploader/workdir/haiku/src/system/kernel/arch/x86/paging/pae/X86VMTranslationMapPAE.cpp:231):*entry & 0x00000001LL) == 0; virtual adress:0x82000000, existing pte:0xf1692003

Cool, I'll add a quick link here to what appears to be the code in question for easy perusal:

Thought this looked familiar...this is in fact a duplicate of #8345, though in the latter's case, none of the reporters are able to reliably replicate it like here, so that makes this case potentially a bit more interesting.

[scanty]

Which part looks familiar, out of curiousity? There are really two bugs here and I should have filed separate reports.

• Haiku (A4.1) won't boot off HD
• Haiku KDLs with Anyboot, such like on a USB stick.

If you'd like I can separate the reports.

[bonefish]

Looks very similar to #9520, which itself is marked a duplicate of #8345.

@scanty: Yes, please create a new ticket for the failure to boot off HD.

[scanty]

This seems to be a 64-bit issue as well, as I tried and x86_64 anyboot image, and the same thing occurs. Seems like something is up with the bootloader but I don't have enough knowledge and experience to diagnose the problem.

[waddlesplash]

#8345 was fixed and no-one else has seen this one reliably for a while; though before that was fixed, oco also had some hardware which reproduced it reliably. So probably the same story was true here.

Assign tickets with status=closed and resolution=fixed within the R1/beta2 development window to the R1/beta2 Milestone
