Was using my Zotac system I just purchased this last week and testing Haiku. Had Webpositive and media player running when my system froze. Weird thing is the audio locked onto endless skipping like an old record and would not stop. 1/2 the screen filled with text and I think I remember seeing something like KDBug at the end of the text.
Anyway, so there I was locked up, audio skipping the same beat over and over, no mouse, no control, nothing.
What may I ask is the proper thing to do in these cases when a system locks up and I have zero mouse control?
What I did was just shutoff the Zotac PC. I rebooted, relaunched the same two apps, playing a song, and it did the same thing. Basically I can lock it up at will. hehehe
Haiku R1 Alpha 3 on a Atom based Zotac PC. I will eventually do a Bug Report but will have to learn what to offer so it can be looked into.
Until then, what should I do to recover?
After the first two times shutting off the system from the power button all booted fine. On the 3rd time, booted fine, but Webpositive was hosed. It would launch but bring up no window and was stalled, can't quit it from process viewer.
So, these lock ups and power down like I did killed Webpositive.
I did throw away the webpositive settings later (forget what folder I was in) and the relaunched and it ran again but not sure I want this happening all the time.
Any help would be nice.
