[openbeos] haiku not booting, media_addon server crashes on startup, and I can't login to the forums

Hi,

Okay, I have to go, because all I'm trying to do is burn an audio CD from my 
.ogg files, and maybe I'm SOL today in BeOS/Haiku land.

BeOS's CDBurner doesn't like .oggs.  Okay, so apparently in Haiku this is not 
the case.  I download the ~27th Haiku build that I've tried since January, and 
it still won't boot because the Haiku bootloader can't ever find the boot 
volume for whatever reason, and yes, I've run makebootable, the BeOS version 
and the Haiku version, and none of them work.  Okay, so I try the instructions 
at http://haiku-os.org/experience.php?mode=view_nhf&id=5 .  I reboot, and no 
dice.  The media_server is running, but the addon server crashes on startup 
every time.  I try the multi_audio.media_addon from the Build Factory, which 
has an older version in it too, tried both of them, same result.  So I go to 
the haiku-os.org forums, and I can't login, even though it's the same username 
and password I've had in there since the beginning of time, so I guess my 
account is inactive (if that's the case, notifications would be welcome in the 
future), and the fifth time, I am locked out.  Here's the stack 
 crawl requested on that web page.  I've run out of time trying to be of use in 
debugging today.

If you can offer any help, it would be appreciated, but I'm gone until Tuesday 
after this.

Thanks,
Kev
