r1 Alpha 2, "undertaker" boot error
Having trouble booting into r1 Alpha 2 from hard drive. The LiveCD and r1 Alpha 1 boot fine on the same hardware. Kernel Debug Land error starts off as:
Thread 3 "undertaker" running on cpu 0
stack trace for thread 3 "undertaker"
kernel stack: 0xffff8000 to 0xffffc000
Searched forum and dev-Haiku bugtracker and didn't come across anything similar.
Any ideas? Need more information?

Re: r1 Alpha 2, "undertaker" boot error
Try a nightly image to see if the problem still exists. Alpha2 is very old to test on now.

If yes, then file a (kernel) ticket at the bug tracker.

r40240-x86-gcc2hybrid.
I downloaded this ISO file and installed. The operating system booted right through the trouble spot and to the desktop.
Did a bit of initial testing to check functionality, and everything seems OK. Played a music CD, watched the teacup twirl at >400 fps, and checked the automatic resolution (32bit, 1152x864). Unfortunately I wasn't able to check networking, as the computer in question is offline use only.
The monitor is a widescreen, and although Haiku doesn't appear to be widescreen-capable, the OS and/or monitor deals with it well: the desktop is centered on the screen with black space on each side.
Thank you for the suggestion to try the Nightly release. I can't recommend this Nightly for a first-time setup though, since the partition and disk tools appear to be disabled.
Re: r1 Alpha 2, "undertaker" boot error
Ok, not sure about partition and disk tools. Maybe hidden in the menus? I haven't checked. Only reason to remove (?) them is if they are undergoing changes or causing issues.
I will have to look at a recent nightly to see what happened.
Re: r1 Alpha 2, "undertaker" boot error
I booted from the same disk again tonight to double-check. Everything seems fine. Weird.
I swear last night the menu options were grayed out and couldn't be selected. Must have done something different?

A side question that perhaps you might know, can the Haiku Bootman boot Linux? Either it's not capable or I haven't configured it properly yet. That would be a worthwhile achievement, IMO, since many/most Haiku users are likely dual booting another OS at this point.
Re: r1 Alpha 2, "undertaker" boot error
you have 2 options for dual booting with linux
1)if you have the haiku 's Bootmanager already installed,you still need to install GRUB to your linux part ( i assume you know already how to do that?)
2)if you still have GRUB installed on the raw device,you can just chainload haiku to GRUB by following this howto below.

Re: r1 Alpha 2, "undertaker" boot error
Yeah, that's how I've done it in the past. Would be great if Bootman could load Linux natively though, bypassing the need for GRUB.
I wasn't really expecting it, just wondering if it's been given some thought.
What would be nice, somewhere in the documentation, a list of operating systems that Bootman can load directly.
