Comment (by ttcoder):
Go figure:
I've re-added the ''full'' previous contents of /boot/home, chunk by
chunk, and the system still boots up fine. Boot timing issues are clearly
back though. So probably it's more bermuda triangle weirdness from this
system.
Now to the interesting bit:
I've even tried to re-add the '''hda''' driver build, and the system boots
up fine, so the whole premise of the ticket lays on nothing it seems...
'''However''', the hda driver is completely ignored.
Only the 'stock' hda driver runs (see syslog to be attached soon). Running
{{{pkgman search hda}}} yields no result, so obviously the drivers live in
haiku.hpkg or something.
It will be kinda hard for driver developers to develop drivers if they
can't uninstall system ones and can't overrule them either by placing
newer ones in home/config ;-)
I'll wait a few more days for the nightlies to mature up (and maybe
rebuild my 'custom' hda driver from source, though it ought to be binary
compatible) before I start pinging again :-)
@axel: used to work, that's how I worked on the hda driver, before the PM
merge ..?! So what is the approved way of adding a driver to home/... I
thought it was possible to add drivers in home/, even if they 'override'
system ones ? Or do you have to delete the system one first ? (hard to do
now that system is read-only ;-)
@bonefish if you read this, you might want to add a "Changes for driver
developers" in this document (if that is indeed the right place):
[https://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/PackageManagement/Migration] , for people
wondering how to remove a system driver (since it seems they are now
monolithic with the whole OS, cannot be "detached" from the rest?) and how
to override a system driver with another version of it, in home/ or
elsewhere.
Or maybe I'm just missing something obvious...
