How to make bootloader remember "safe mode" selection? (solved)

Forum thread started by GuestOne on Thu, 2009-09-17 11:22

I've just installed Haiku on my laptop. It runs perfectly except video (Intel GMA X3100). Setting "Safe video mode" in boot options helps, but doing this every boot is annoying.
Is it possible to configure boot parameters or something?

Network not working in virtualbox [solved]

Forum thread started by erbazzone on Thu, 2009-09-17 09:32

Hi, I love the Os and I want to be involved in everything I can...

For now I have installed it in virtual box it runs good.
But networking is not working, debugging from the network preference is done but without network is difficult for me to export anywhere the text...

I'm running it on virtualbox 3.06 under ubuntu linux with kde session as Other/Unknown OS.

I've solved while writing this post... I only had to change the network driver to intel...

I post this thread in case it could be useful for someone else.

Botched Haiku install, no more LiveCD?

Forum thread started by biff on Thu, 2009-09-17 00:11

So, I was installing Haiku on my netbook (Asus eeepc 900) and my power strip got kicked and killed power to my system and my external CDROM drive. No problem! I wanted to change some things anyway! However: when I tried to boot the LiveCD on that system, it never worked again! No matter if I had the original install-to disk connected or not, I always got dumped into the kernel debugger with a boot partition not found error. Obviously, some flag got set on the system that says "Haiku is already installed, so look for a boot partition." Is there any way to reset this flag? Plus (and this might be bug territory), somebody might want to boot the LiveCD even if the Haiku partition is present and healthy. Any quick suggestions? Or do I need to go source-code exploring?

Thanks! Plus, to all Haiku developers: My God, it is so nice! You guys have done an incredible job!

Problem Running Haiku Under VMware Player

Forum thread started by eav on Wed, 2009-09-16 20:57

I want Haiku to eventually be my main/only OS. But in the meantime I decided to try it under VMware Player, (running under Vista) mainly because my system gets its internet connection via WiFi. I installed VMware Player and Haiki and everything seemed to work fine. However the next day whenever I try to start Haiku from within VMware Player I get this msg. "Error while powering on: The VMware Authorization Service is not running."

I am going to uninstall reinstall everything and see what happens, but I thought I would report the problem first. We will see if it reoccurs.

Cirrus Logic AC'97 Audio driver

Forum thread started by thetick1234 on Wed, 2009-09-16 19:07

Hi all,

I have been testing Haiku for a few years with VMware and have used BeOS as my desktop in the distant past. I also still maintain (have not done anything in years) a functional Tune Tracker system on BeOS. Linux is my main OS these days with a little XP which I try to avoid.

I decided to try the Haiku alpha bare metal on my Thinkpads. The R50e worked great.. audio (oss/Intel HDA), video and very responsive. My older Thinkpad A22m worked very well also... vesa video at 1400x1050 was very fast. The audio driver was not loaded and I think it should work.

It's a CS4297A / CS4624 combo. The CS4397A is a Cirrus Logic AC'97 Audio controller which with Linux uses the Intel AC97 module (snd-intel8x0). The CS4624 is for Sound Blaster compatibility and uses the snd-cs46xx module with Linux. Note only one driver can loaded at a time with Linux and both do work fine.

See http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/CS4624 and http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/CS4297 for the details.

lspci and listdev show: Multimedia controller (Multimedia audio controller) [4|1|0] vendor 1013: Cirrus Logic device 6003: CS 4614/22/24/30 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator]

I only need audio playback working so either driver would be fine. I think the OSS driver should work. How do I force the driver? I would prefer to use the Live-CD since I'm just testing but if needed I can make a Haiku partition.

Alpha 1 on a Dell Dimension XPS R450 (Pentium II 450MHz) - No network

Forum thread started by MikeRS on Wed, 2009-09-16 02:52

I've got Alpha 1 installed on this model of computer, as it's the only one I have to spare and Haiku boots on (it fails on my laptop... perhaps I should send a bug report?).

I cannot get any network connection at all on the computer, and it currently has a Realtek 8139 ethernet card. I'm not sure if this particular type of hardware is just not supported or what. As far as I can tell, Haiku already contains a driver built-in for the card, but the Network preferences application just doesn't list the device (although listdev does).

As I currently have Arch Linux also on the disk, I'll output "lspci -vv" from that for the ethernet card:

02:0f.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)

Also just to demonstrate that the card itself is functional, "ifconfig eth0" from GNU/Linux:

how can I configure wireless connection

Forum thread started by ambertape on Wed, 2009-09-16 01:52

I am running Haiku as a live cd. I have a wireless setup in my house and everywhere I am I can go on line.I will appreciate it if you could list for me the steps I should follow so I can connect my laptop to my wireless system in my house. I also will appreciate help is setting up the proper resolution of my monitor at work because when I tried using it as a live CD, the screen was narrow and tall and the resolution was strange.

I am a novice in Haiku and please treat me as a newbie.

Thanks

Ambertape
