Driver Help needed

Forum thread started by phatpenguin on Tue, 2008-10-21 12:32

I have an old IBM thinkpad 600E that i am trying to rescue (currently running Solaris 9 on it) to use as a BeOS/Haiku box.

My trouble is that it doesn't have an ethernet port, so I was wondering if there were drivers available for ethernet or wifi pcmcia cards in BeOS or Haiku?

help needed with libode (Open Dynamics Engine)

Forum thread started by richienyhus on Mon, 2008-09-01 11:37

Dose anyone know where I can download libode for the beos ?
As it seems there are a few games that run on beos and zeta that need these files yet I can't find them anywhere. I have tried to compile it myself but I get a whole bunch of compiling errors that is way over my head.

The closed thing I can find on the net is http://beos.polygonsoup.com/?p=17 which is the problem I am having.

IDE Haiku -> SATA HD doesn't boot...

Forum thread started by Luposian on Thu, 2008-08-14 22:13

I am able to boot (quite quickly and it works great) Haiku in my son's old computer (AMD Athlon 64 Sempron 3200+) and thought I'd try to install it on a SATA drive and try to boot it from that.

After repartitioning the drive in Vista (can't format it, as NTFS is the only option), I then brought it over to the AMD system and Initialized the disk as a BFS partition. Then I ran the Installer. It copied everything VERY fast.

Then I ran Bootman from the Terminal. It installed the boot menu seemingly fine. I rebooted and the menu came up ("Haiku" being the only choice, naturally) and started to boot...

But all I ever get is "Booting Haiku..." and a blinking cursor beneath it. Nothing more ever happens.

I then thought maybe it was because I never selected the drive/partition as Active. So I put it back on the other system, and went into Vista and "Activated" (HA!) the drive. Tried running it on that system... same message.

Tried running it on the AMD system... same message.

Am I doing something wrong?

I will say, however, that Haiku sees the partition as FAT16, not FAT32, when I try to Initialize it. Is this a problem? Does Haiku's DriveSetup have an option for selecting what type of partition is created or what it should be Intialized as? Is there another tool in Haiku I can use, that will work?

Hope someone can help...

Floppy boot fail

Forum thread started by valexey on Sun, 2008-08-10 01:48

I just checkout src from svn and build it.

I try to run Haiku under qemu:

qemu -fda haiku-boot-floppy.image -hda haiku.image -boot a

But there is black screen only.

If burn haiku-boot-cd.iso & haiku.image to CD, and try to boot on real hardware, it's reboots (black screen and reset my computer).

What's wrong?

From Haiku I copied (Really it seems that I moved) a directory (Internet) fro Zeta to Haiku.
Since apparently the directory was moved and not copied, I tried to copy it back.
I could copy it anywhere back to Zeta, but the old directory.
It says that the Internet (directory) exist in directory /apps, when it is really not there. (I checked it with ls also.) How can i remove/clear up this nonexistent directory in /apps?

mountpoints

Forum thread started by Adek336 on Sun, 2008-08-03 13:29

Hi!
mountvolume myExt3VolumeName yields something like
successfully mounted myExt3VolumeName at '(null)'

so it's not accessible. A second mountvolume myExt3VolumeName tells me it's already mounted; a mountvolume -umount (or is it -unmount?) myExt3VolumeName says it is not mounted.

Is this a known issue?

I'm running Haiku on real hw, I compiled it just the way mentioned in one of the articles. Do I have to explicitly change the build options first to have mounts working?

Cheers

Hello @ all,

Is there anyone who can help me for finding the Attansic L1 driver (1Gbit Ethernet card) or convert it from the linux driver ?

Thanks.
