Hi, I just removed the grf drivers for the hardware I have in my system except vesa. I boot with all bootoptions checked except safe-mode and now I get the standard 'desktop'. So there seems to be something wrong regarding the gfx drivers interfacing their hardware. (I tested removing two drivers one-by one for both brands cards in my system: one removing did not help.) Booting in with all options checked (so also 'safemode') works also now: I get the fullscreen 'terminal'. Hopefully this info sets someone on the right track :) Rudolf. > > Unfortunately, I don't even get that far when trying to boot this > partition in vmware any more, either: > > http://68.44.156.246/haiku-vmware-log.txt.gz > > Adam > > Adam K Kirchhoff wrote: > > >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.
