Is it possible to use Haiku's boot manager to chainload windows?

If its not, how do I set up ntldr to chainload Haiku?

Just to let you know, Haiku freezes booting with Parallels desktop for Mac. It gets so far, but never to the desktop.

Run haikuporter again, specifiying a port version

I miss something?

Atheros AR2413 wifi problem

Forum thread started by Haikumatic on Tue, 2011-11-15 14:23

I've tried Haiku R1/alpha3 Revision 42211 on my Acer Aspire 5100 laptop.
First problem: I've used the fail-safe video mode because I could only see a black screen after the Haiku logo screen. My laptop has a Ati Radeon Xpress video card. I suppose it is not supported.
Second problem: the Atheros AR2413 wifi card doesn't work right.

If I run listdev ---> device Network Controller
vendor 168c: Atheros Communications Inc
device 001a: AR2413 802.11bg NIC

If I run ifconfig -a ---> /dev/net/atheroswifi/0

Now ifconfig /dev/net/atheroswifi/0 list ----> webstar1 (my wifi name)

Then ifconfig /dev/net/atheroswifi/0 join webstar1 [my wifi password] ---> No message from terminal.
Next step I run Network program and select my wifi name, DHCP and "Aplicar"
If I run the NetWordStatus applet I can see a circle in the left but it turns to an orange triangle 10-15 seconds later. If I run the browser, I can't load any page.

You can see all in this screen capture: http://imm.io/bBIX

Could someone help me, please?

T42 Laptop install - 100% success 'out of the box'. Now just need wifi...

Forum thread started by Meta4 on Sat, 2011-11-12 19:43

Hi folks,

I found my old BeOS 4.5 boxed CD set in the attic, and that got me to thinking and doing a bit of research. So, found Haiku, downloaded, burned, and tried it on an old IBM T42 laptop I had hanging around.

To say I was amazed that everything worked is an understatement!! Sound, ethernet... *everything*!

Great work guys :)

I won't lie, I had a bit of fun hunting down the Boot Manager (as just installing Haiku doesn't make it boot!) but got there in the end,

So, can anyone recommend a PCMCIA wireless card that you know for certain works?

Thanks

Meta4
