Did not work on three computerr

Forum thread started by Flexman on Fri, 2009-11-20 18:16

I now tried Haiku on three Computers, the CD started on none of them.

1st: Pentium III: Haiku stuck at the 5th logo (processor) - it was not

2nd: Pendium D (HP Compaq dc7700): Just got a blue screen with nothing

3rd: Athlon XP 2600+: Haiku stuck at the 4th logo.

Hmm... does it really work only on few selected computers?
