vm_page_fault error on boot

Forum thread started by minime71 on Tue, 2010-02-02 11:56

I was unsuccessful in booting Haiku Alpha 1 release, so have tried nightly builds including the latest one on 1 February 2010, x86gcc4hybrid r35386 but still no success. The boot sequence shows up and process terminates on the third icon. The following is complete screen debug output:

PANIC: vm_page_fault: unhandled page fault in kernel space at 0x10fe8101, ip 0x8188f944

The PC on which I'm trying to boot is OEM Dell Precision 380 workstation with Intel 955X chipset, 3GHz Pentium D processor, 2GB DDR2 RAM and Nvidia Quadro PCI Express graphics card . BIOS version is A07.

I have tried disabling variety of items in safe mode options menu, and combinations thereof, but no luck. Could anyone suggest what is causing the problem, or even better, potential resolution?

Thanks,

Making a bootable ISO using 'mkisofs' under Haiku

Forum thread started by kvdman on Fri, 2010-01-29 20:42

Hello,

I can create a custom bootable ISO of Haiku (with all my own apps, settings, drivers, etc.) within Haiku, but there are some issues.

First I grab a nightly VMware image, fill it with goodies, then grab the nightly ISO with the same revision, and rip the boot floppy image out of it.

Run this command under Haiku:

mkisofs -R -b haiku-boot-floppy.image -c boot.catalog -o /Haiku-Custom.iso /boot

(took me a while to figure the above out, and note, adding the Joilet flag will result in an ISO that doesn't boot)...

Testing the ISO in Qemu, it loads, fine, boots fine, applications load fine, etc.

The only thing, all the applications don't have their icons. Didn't copy the attributes over?

So, does anyone know how I can fix this, what's happening, if this is a bug in mkisofs?

thx!

Loading Haiku after BOOT

Forum thread started by Denco on Mon, 2010-01-25 15:09

Hi. I wanna try Haiku, but I have one problem. I downloaded Haiku iso file from this official site and then I burn it. But problem starts after boot CD. It appears Haiku logo. And under title "Haiku" there are seven icons, I think. So it's loading or something like that. From beginning three icons are shined and the other are dark. I was waiting maybe 15 minutes but nothing happened. I don't think that I can have hardware problems. I have 2 Core processor and 3 GB RAM. So if you could try to help me, give me some advices. Thanks. If you wanna, write me on my email L.Denis@atlas.sk Thx.

sound issues

Forum thread started by eugenu on Sun, 2010-01-24 18:18

I installed the latest nightly build (23 January).

When booting, there's an annoying high pitch sound which lasts for a few seconds.

I muted all controls in mixer settings but for some reason nothing is saved,
neither between reboots, nor even between open/close of Media preferences window.

Is there any way to turn off the media server?

Thanks,
eugenu

Ticket - add comment

Forum thread started by cipri on Sun, 2010-01-24 12:43

I want to add a comment to an open ticket, and it is not possible.
If I experimentally try to click on "new ticket" I get the following error:

TICKET_CREATE privileges are required to perform this operation

I think I have read somewhere that any user can(is allowed to) write a ticket. So now I'm a little confused.

updating Haiku alpha to the latest nighly build

Forum thread started by farvardin on Sun, 2010-01-24 07:58

Hello,

I have installed Haiku alpha since its release, and I'd like to have an updated version, by using a nightly buid without deleting my /home and all the extra apps I've already installed.

Is there a best way to do this, or do I have to save everything, install Haiku again, and restore my saves?

Intel i810 graphics failing?

Forum thread started by synchronise on Sun, 2010-01-24 03:35

Hi,
This seems to be a problem with one of the old computers, a Netvista with i810 graphics.
Everytime I start it, it freezes at a screen with what appear to be test patterns. BeOS supported this chipset so I'm wondering why Haiku isn't booting on my system.
