Cannot install Haiku

Forum thread started by nsigr on Wed, 2014-01-22 18:51

Hello

I downloaded Haiku Alpha 4 Anyboot zip file and I followed the instructions to write it to a USB stick.
The problem is that when my PC tries to boot from the USB stick I see the message "Loading System" and then the system reboots.

I will write a description of my computer because I think some of my hardware may not be supported yet.

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4000+
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA69VM-S2 (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2500#ov)
RAM: 5GB DDR2 PC5300 (667Mhz)
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD5450

Thank you for any replies

Hiya nsigr and welcome. I would first try the latest nightly, which you can find here: http://www.haiku-files.org/haiku/development/

They're stable enough for every day driver and lots has been changed since the Alpha. I use the anyboot one, others prefer the raw or ISO flavours.

If you still have problems, along with posting here, creating a bug report is always a good idea as well: https://dev.haiku-os.org/

Good luck :)

Where /dev/sd[x] is your USB device. *Make sure to use /dev/sdx and not /dev/sdx1. This is a very common mistake!
