Booting in using USB stick on MacBook Pro

Forum thread started by piers on Wed, 2010-09-15 12:38

I've installed Haiku on a 2GB Kingston USB stick. I hold down the Option key at boot-up but my MacBook Pro just won't spot the USB stick. Any help appreciated.

Installing in VMWare Workstation

Forum thread started by Craiglea on Tue, 2010-09-14 14:34

I have download the Haiku VM zip file today and tried to run it within VMWare Workstation.

When I try to open the VMX file I get an error message:

Unable to open configuration file "D:\Virtual Machines\Haiku\haiku-r1alpha2.vmx": (null)

Having searched a number of forums I could see plenty of people having this problem but no solution. I've been able to run the same image for some time on OS X using VMWare Fusion. I've tried this several times under Windwows with no success.

Any help on this would be welcome.

nforce ethernet

Forum thread started by donn on Mon, 2010-09-13 19:16

I set up a new computer, ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium, and the onboard ethernet doesn't work with Haiku, alpha2 or the version on my hard disk, r37466. The device(s - there are two) list as

vendor 10de: nVidia Corporation
device 0373: MCP55 Ethernet

Initialization etc. seem to happen without incident, up to a couple of "media change" reports, first media 0x22 quality 1000 speed 10000, then 0x800023 quality 1000 speed 10000. ifconfig shows it configured to media 10BASE-T. Then when I try to use it, the log shows an occasional "watchdog timeout (missed Tx interrupts) -- recovering", and ping fails with "no route to host."

I can configure the LAN devices on or off in the BIOS, actually to begin with only the first was enabled. NetBSD works on the same setup, so I suppose the wires must be OK.

Anyone have a clue?

thanks ...

Wireless hardware unavailable after shutdown/killing network settings window

Forum thread started by arinlares on Sun, 2010-09-12 23:56

I have Haiku installed for a half an hour, and I manage to break it. I'm running it on my Asus eee 1000ha (for anybody else who has fixed this), with the Atheros AR5001 wireless chipset. I managed to connect to the internet before, on the USB drive, and on my HD install (setwep *hardware* *essid* *passkey*), and select the hardware, and then ping Google from the command line with no problems.

I tried to set my internet connection type to DHCP with the same hardware using the Network settings tool in the menu (like every other OS/device that supports it on my network), and the program froze up, so I shut down, ultimately killing the program (I can't find the name of the program, so I can't type kill *program*).

It does connect, and only screwed up after killing the network device setup menu (my ethernet port still shows up). So... Short of reinstalling, what do I do?

NOTE: I can still connect via my ethernet port. I'm editing from it right now.

EDIT Problem sorted itself out after connecting via ethernet port. The only issue I have now is my wireless not connecting, but I'll read the docs and get around to fixing that.

Boot Haiku from 2nd Harddisc with XP bootmanager

Forum thread started by smaug on Wed, 2010-09-08 09:29

Hi everybody,

I have a running Haiku R2 installation, that had been in a primary partition on the first harddisc.
Now I was forced to switch my 2 HDs (failure in MBR, i think), Haiku is on the 2nd HD now.

When I try to boot it with the bootpart file, I've created with dd, I get a "read error".
Is it actually possible to use bootpart files on 2nd HD in the bootmanager of XP?
if not do you know another bootmanager that can handle Haiku and also an older Win2K installation on the 2nd HD?

I've also tried to reinstall Haiku. Booting from an USB stick the starts the rocket, then hangs. I have a stick with LED, that stops blincking a few seconds after the rocket gets red.

As workarund I can press space bar when booting from the stick and select the installed Haiku installation. That still works but of course is to circuitous in the long run.
