Haiku on a Gateway n450 netbook

Forum thread started by whiteguycedric on Thu, 2010-05-13 15:44

I don't know how to boot from a USB, but am trying to. I don't have an external cd drive to run the iso, but what I have tried was daemon tools and to copy the iso files on a flash drive hoping that if I change the boot order it will run. That has failed, so now I'm stuck. If anyone could walk me through on how to boot from a micro SD w/usb adapter, I would greatly appreciate it.

Haikuware

Forum thread started by DFergATL on Thu, 2010-05-13 00:31

I have downloaded and treid 9 different apps from haikuware. All of them were specifly for Haiku. Not a single one works.. missing lib, unresolved link.... it reminds me of Linux Lib Hell. Are there any apps on Haikuware that actually can be installed and used??

sorry about the rant... got a little frustrated.

VESA file fixing boot problem

Forum thread started by Earl Colby Pottinger on Wed, 2010-05-12 20:50

I would like to point out that I have seen a number of different machines (different CPUs and brand names) booting to a blank screen with Haiku. And all of them have been fixed by adding a VESA file to: /boot/home/config/settings/kernel/drivers/vesa

I create a text file using the text editor containing the line 'mode 640 480 32', and a important detail that I just discovered today while setting up a multi-boot is that you *MUST* hit enter/newline after typing the above, otherwise it still will not work but will look the same as the working version if you just read it.

The only reason I spotted this detail is that the files were diffirent sizes.

Jope this solves some problems out there.

"Mail"start on startup

Forum thread started by Bruno Brocoli on Wed, 2010-05-12 07:26

After instaling the alpha 2 (GCC") over the alpha 1 (GCC4 hybrid) "Mail" cannot save the preferences anymore. It wont show in the deskbar after restart. I have to restart it manually.

Bootable USB

Forum thread started by DFergATL on Wed, 2010-05-12 03:14

I have neverf done a bootable USB drive before. Never really had a reason. Now I have done my first with Haiku. But I ahve to use a CD to make it boot :( If i put in the CD and hold sift, I can then select the USB and boot it. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I created the USB using the installer in Haiku. It went just fine...?????????

L7VMM mobo no-go

Forum thread started by Snuhwolf on Tue, 2010-05-11 01:23

Tried Haiku on this:http://www.motherboard.cz/mb/ecs/L7VMM.htm which is the fastest-newest kit I have. It reboots without getting to a screen. Cant even halt it by hitting spacebar. Is there not support for AMD Duron processors? Maybe some BIOS setting I need to try?
