These reports sound a bit like bug #1444: http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/1444 Although I haven't tried using the new ATA driver on the laptop reported in 1444. Would it be possible to put that into the bootup debug menu, at least in the short term, so users can easily pick one or the other to see if they can boot with either? I didn't know there were alternate IDE drivers till I saw this thread. -scottmc On Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 7:22 AM, Euan Kirkhope <euan.kirkhope@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 20/03/2008, Axel Dörfler <axeld@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Fredrik Modéen <fredrik@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > Partition 1 = NTFS, p2 = Fat32, p3=empty, p 4=Zeta, p5=Haiku > > > P2 and p3 are on an extended partition > > > Partition 1 = 80 GB, p2 = 32 GB, p3=, p 4=18,7 GB, p5=9,8 GB > > > > > > Is it possible for you to provide debug output?
