Boot problem
Hi
I have a Sony vaio VGN-S5HP and it won't boot Haiku nor Zeta or BeOS..
BeOS and Zeta hang after the Oscilloscope icon light up. Haiku in debug boot gives following before hang:
KDiskDeviceManager::_Scan(dev/disk)
found pci!!
found drivers/dev/disk/ide!!
add module busses/ide/generic_ide_pci/device_v1 to list
has connection? yes
module: busses/ide/generic_ide_pci/device_v1, support 0
free busses/ide/generic_ide_pci/device_v1

found drivers/dev/disk/ide!!
add module busses/ide/generic_ide_pci/device_v1 to list
has connection? yes
module: busses/ide/generic_ide_pci/device_v1, support 300
Anyone have any idea why this happens??

Re: Boot problem
You can try hitting spacebar during boot and try some of the "failsafe" options... specifically, i would try turning off IDE DMA and see if that helps.
If there are any options in the BIOS settings to alter the IDE controller for "legacy" support or some-such, that might be a good place to start also.
If you figure out what it is, probably good to post back here with results.
Re: Boot problem
I have tried all "failsafe" options and bios in this laptop sucks big time.. Nothing useful there!! Forgot to mantion, sorry :( Even tried the IDE_replacement_driver..

*Cough* Need Specs *Cough*

It would be appear to be this:

My guess is the S-ATA controller is probably the issue...if the BIOS has support for "legacy-mode" for the IDE controller, that might help...
Boot problem
lol, i meant about the computer.
- Is it another issue?
- Has the same hardware been used before?
- Have you tried legacy IDE, as stated?
I'm not sure if there are any SATA Drivers in the works, unfortunetly. I heard of SATA for Zeta, and it's probably shipped with Zeta v1.2. You could research into that, if you wanted.

If you mean that have I ever run BeOS on the machine succesfully?? no...
There is no legacy in bios.. Actually there is nothin useful in there. Just speaker volume and stuff..
well.. I'll try to get my hand on the new Zeta as soon as possible :)
It's just strange I can't even boot from cd...
But perhaps I can get Haiku to work with Zetas SATA drivers...
I download haiku image and
I download haiku image and HaikuBootCD (*.cue) and burn it. But Haiku won't boot, loader start and I see screen with haiku logo. And after it all stop!

who can help?
Haiku LiveCD is not official, you'll likely have issues
The HaikuLiveCD is not an official project of the Haiku devs currently - and as confirmed on the mailing list, just using the boot image that comes with that .cue file is not guaranteed to work with the kernel in the haiku.image (You may need to rebuild the floppy image yourself).
These are not officially supported methods of launching Haiku yet, so no work has been done to ensure that they work properly in all cases.
See here:
http://haiku-os.org/community/forum/haiku_personal_edition
and specifically here:
http://www.freelists.org/archives/openbeos/03-2007/msg00067.html
Ultimately, you could just have a bad combination - Haiku doesn't really play well with SATA yet for example. I'm also not sure the X700 is supported properly - you can try hitting spacebar before it boots and try booting with safe mode video, etc.
