BeOS works from CD perfectly but not from HD

Forum thread started by gammaray on Mon, 2013-09-16 00:52

I have a HP DC7100. The Live CD works perfectly. I have a SATA 160GB that has first a FREEDOS partition then a BeOS partition. The HD installation does not work. The tracker, shutdown and network programs dont work, limited desktop functionality.

Just to throw a curve I am using OSL2000 as a MBR and Bootloader. Seems to work fine.

I don't what it wrong but I know that under BeOS I was able to set the DOS and BEOS partitions both ACTIVE at the same time.

I am going to check this but dont really know what is wrong.

Also going to try hiding the unused DOS partition using the OSL2000.

Mounting the BEOS partition on the HD is worth a shot.

As well as using clean HD without OSL2000.

Any other suggestions? I let you know if I find out anything.

Update: Told OSL2000 to Autohide partitions. I believe since Primary partitions must be active to see them, the bootloader must change the way the booted partition sees other primary partitions. Works fine now.

WebPositive loading pages much slower than Linux or Windows

Forum thread started by kp3ft on Sun, 2013-09-15 01:15

I've noticed that WebPositive takes a lot longer to load pages than browsers in Linux or Windows, and sometimes stops loading altogether unless I restart WebPositive. I'm running a Dell Studio17, dual-core Intel, with multi-boot, and wired LAN connection for internet. Immedietly rebooting into Linux or Windows and loading the same pages is much faster with no issues, probably around four times as fast. Could this be a driver issue, or is it related to WebPositive itself? It's not a show-stopper, but it would be nice to have pages load normally.

The only other unrelated drawback is that audio doesn't work. I see that hrev 44757 did fix the audio problem with Intel's HDMI Audio hardware, but unfortunately, that revision is no longer available on the nightly builds page. Currently running hrev45895. If anyone knows of a particular revision I can download that has the fix for the Intel HDMI adio, I'd be very grateful. Thanks for any help.

This one gets me pulling my hair! (no-go on Acer Aspire One)

Forum thread started by Stacked_Lambda on Sat, 2013-09-14 22:45

A while back I had created a Haiku USB Key with Alpha R3.

I have successfully booted several Thinkpads and a Dell laptop using this key.

However, I`m getting stuck just before the Disk icon lights on.

The Acer is Aspire One 721-3922 (Windows 7).

Using Debug Option under Safe Boot, the last message from the displayed is:

USB ehci - 1; The USB Controller is bios owned, claiming ownership.

Has anyone encountered similar issues and successfully resolved them?

Note that I yet to successfully boot from a linux LiveCD - for example SystemRescueCD.

wifi-install zd1211-firmware

Forum thread started by jayananda on Fri, 2013-09-13 16:05

hi,
I am new to HAIKU, need wifi, downloaded the driver zd1211 (known from linux), extracted it, and now:
how can I install it to HAIKU ?
the wifi-how-to-s in the guide does not solve the problem. I know that the zd1211 is not in the supported driver-list; but I would be glad if someone out there can give me a special how-to ;-)

Loading Haiku on Windows 8

Forum thread started by wslmradio on Sun, 2013-09-08 13:04

I have a brand new out of the box Lenovo PC model H520 and I need to install Haiku on this. However, it has Windows 8 on it and I can't get to a boot screen to even try to boot from the Haiku CD. Also, is this system even compatible with Haiku?

multiple entries to a single attribute?

Forum thread started by spinach on Tue, 2013-09-03 20:47

so, for Reasons, i need to be able to list multiple entries to a single attribute for a file (say, a working environment with many users sharing source files for a large number of different projects), and information online is kinda sparse as to how i might go about this or whether it's even possible (is it?). it's not absolutely necessary that this be a feasible undertaking, but it'd potentially save some people a lot of work (not to mention diskspace).
