Recently, I tried to install Haiku on my desktop machine, but the installation was stopped. Haiku said it encountered a "general system error" and stopped at the libwebcore.so file. Does anyone know what this means?

Hello,

I have a NAS server running Linux that I would like to connect to from my Haiku R1A2 machine, but so far unsuccessful.

I have tried the following commands from Terminal:

1)
mount_nfs ip-address-of-server:/volume1/Music /mount/test 1000 100
Note; I'm not sure about the 1000 100 part. I saw someone else doing it this ways. I have created the directory /mount/test

2)
mount -t nfs ip-address-of-server:volume1/Music /mount/test

All shares are located in the directory volume1.

My NAS server requires authentication so I have to provice a username and password somehow. NFS is started on the NAS server

What am I doing wrong?

Once I get it working, I would like to have Haiku automatically connect to my shares on the NAS server. How do I do that?

EDIT: I forgot to mention that when I issue any of the above commands in Terminal, nothing happens. The share isn't mounted and Terminal doesn't release the curser. It is as if it continues to try and mount the share, but never succeeds.

TIA
Peter

I tried R1A2 on both my computers.

On my modern-ish desktop it works fine as far as I can tell, no support for my (USB) wireless chip and no way to get that box to a place I can reach with a network cable, so not exactly useful, but it works. This is really cool because versions of Linux newer than 2008 won't work unless I disable APIC (and SMP with it...) and PC-BSD won't do SMP. Windows? No idea, not going to try.

Next was my (pretty old) laptop. I didn't bother trying it in live cd mode (I should have!), just installed. Installation went fine, but Haiku freezes while loading the desktop, and then only responds to the power/reset button - ctrl-alt-del does nothing. Haiku does work when I enable safe mode. The other options in the boot menu don't seem to matter.

So how do I make Haiku always boot in safe mode? Or even better, how do I figure out what is causing the freeze and how do I disable just that component?
