Virtual Box - Boot hung

Forum thread started by Anonymous on Tue, 2011-07-26 23:32

This is my very first time attempting to use Haiku.

I am running the latest Virtual Box on Centos, it's running FreeBSD, Ubuntu, and Windows just fine.

I used the vmdk image, when I couldn't get anywhere I tried the iso install.
It installed cleanly but when I rebooted, I ends up in the same place.

An Initial backscreen screen comes up with a Haiku logo and 7 icons below it.
No mouse cursor appears.

No keyboard or mouse actions seems to have any effect. I have let it sit a day like this with no effect.

This screen appears instantly when booting and just never changes.

What's going on? do I need to do something? or is it broken?

Try the alpha, or a different build.

If using nightly, try Alpha3 which will work. I have used vmdk in VirtualBox and it has worked for me. Could be a bug in nightly image.
