Well, this is a dual Xeon system, with hyperthreading (though I disable it in the boot options when the splash screen starts up). And yeah, it worked a few months ago on the same system :-( Adam ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [openbeos] Re: Booting problems... Date: Saturday 28 January 2006 13:44 From: "Rudolf" <drivers.be-hold@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: openbeos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Hi, same here. Axel tells me that launch_speedup is optional though. My system is a dual P3-500: it will boot a bit longer if I disable SMP, but still it hangs.. Some time ago it worked though. (two other single CPU systems _do_ work here however). Would be nice if that could get fixed somehow, whatever it is.. :-) Rudolf. > Has anyone seen this problem before: > > bfs: mounted "Haiku" (root node at 524288, device = /dev/disk/scsi/1/ > 0/0/1) > module: Search for file_cache/launch_speedup/v1 failed. > ** could not open launch speedup! > > After that error, the boot process just hangs. > > Adam -------------------------------------------------------
