Bootup from USB leads to pattern of full screen colors

Forum thread started by RAPHAEL on Thu, 2012-01-05 23:40

Hard to describe it but when booting from USB it goes past the icons then screen turns black then it cycles through several colors and patterns and repeats the colors and pattern cycle.

This is the full specs of my computer:

I'm totally new to Haiku so is there a workaround that a noob can do? I'm not a Linux or Windows noob but never tried out Haiku.

Failsafe mode worked like a charm. Now to attempt to get at least one of my wireless things to work (one integrated and two different usb dongles). I'm upstairs from the router and cannot run a cable.

Thge usb dongles will not work, no drivers and no dial-up networking. What kind of built in wireless do you have?

Does it show in /dev/net?
