Haiku and SATA II

Forum thread started by lxstoian on Wed, 2012-02-22 20:49

Does Haiku support SATA II disks ?
I have booted it on both my Acer W500 and ASUS 1215b an for both devices the hard drives aren't recognised.
For both I've submitted full bug reports.

Kernel crashed

Forum thread started by bharath_a0 on Tue, 2012-02-14 11:29

Hi,
I am very new to Haiku and I was trying to play around with the OS a little bit.
I tried to delete a file and I have a kernel crash now.

I have the screenshot of the kernel back-trace but I do not know how to attach an image file here in this forum.

R1A3 on KVM, etc.

I have Squebian Deeze running on my quad Phenom-II. I *finally* got my kvm script polished well enough so it's easy to start VMs.

I've been working on modernizing the Smoothwall firewall for a couple years now. It's quite usable (and is my perimeter firewall). For testing, I've been using an extra computer or three I have laying around. But it gets old trying to remember what I have installed on which and where (2-3 drives in each). So with my script working well, I installed my RC3 in a KVM VM, gave it 4 virtual NICs, one in each zone of RED, GREEN, PURPLE and ORANGE, rebooted and it runs. And I can fairly easily switch virtual HDs for testing.

To test that the firewall is doing what it should, I wanted a lightweight system with a smallish footprint. I decided I should *finally* DL and install Haiku in another VM with just a virtNIC attached to GREEN. It has a lot of serial console output, but it installed nicely. Very much like BeOS 10 years ago. The NIC got an address and I browsed the web a bit.

And that leads to my question; not for support but as a status query. Is WebPositive's JavaScript limited? Or is it non-existent?

Alas, Civilization: Call to Power installs and runs, but seems to hang on initialization, using lots of CPU. In time, I expect this'll work, too. (Hmmm. Would full-screen access be related?)

No messages and no crashes, so y'all're doin' somethin' right. :)

For what I need right now,
Haiku is the cat's meow.
Really.

Oldschool demoeffect sources for Haiku

Forum thread started by fog76 on Tue, 2012-02-07 17:22

Finally, i have finished porting my code for Haiku and I finished updating html pages.

If you are interested take a look at: http://insolitdust.sourceforge.net/

Of course I still have not finished to upload effects, many others are waiting to be converted.

Greetings,

Minecraft Anybody?

Forum thread started by el.tigre.20 on Sat, 2012-02-04 08:15

So I just wanted to know, has anybody successfully run and played Minecraft on Haiku? I posted a thread on the user support for the technical answers, but I just wanted to post it here as well to see if anybody has had any luck? Thanks so much!

Typical Home Folders?

Forum thread started by el.tigre.20 on Tue, 2012-01-31 02:24

Just a question....

Haiku doesn't seem to have the typical folders that are usually located in /home like 'Documents' or 'Music' or 'Pictures' is there a reason why?

Thanks!

When will Tor be ported?

Forum thread started by Snuhwolf on Mon, 2012-01-30 22:11

Tor runs on Apple, Windows and Linux. The need for Tor on Haiku is apparent from the recent SOPA/PIPA legislation. Is there a chance that Tor will be ported to Haiku?
