FreeLists / openbeos / [openbeos] Re: Haiku no longer booting

["Simon Taylor" <simontaylor1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With the latest changes I can get the keyboard to work with the app 
server (input_server does need to be started in the bootscript AFAICT). 
As soon as I touch the mouse though, the system freezes. Also modifier 
keys don't seem to work (a load of B_MESSAGE_NOT_UNDERSTOOD appear in 
the terminal when alt, shift or control are held down here).

Anyway I am at least moving in the right direction.

I've personally been interested for years, but as more pieces start to 
fall into place I can see lots of newbies poluting the list with less-
useful topics. I guess it's a case of "cross that bridge when we come 
to it".

I'm limited in the same way as you with serial debugging unfortunately. 
I'll have to pick up a cheap old system to be a debugging terminal :)
