The official Alpha image will be released in a few hours now. Try
burning that one to CD and booting it. I have 3 PCs I've tried it on
and it was fine on 2 of them, failing to boot on the third on. That
third one has a strange video bios issue that causes the video to move
up and down in certain video modes, one of those is the video mode of
the boot screen. I see that's it's falling to kdl on the fourth icon
but i can't read the failure. I'll be giving it another try today and
try using the boot menu options to see if I can get any further.
There were a handful of ATA changes made 33054 and the alpha tag at
33109, but not all were fixed. There's a few open trac issues
regarding booting issues, so if you still have issues after you try
the alpha do a search on trac and find the ticket that most closely
matches yours and post some specs on your PC, such as the output from
running lshw in Ubuntu:
http://dev.haiku-os.org/attachment/ticket/1444/MX7118-lshw.txt
We have pushed the alpha1 milestone tickets to a new alpha2 milestone,
so while these haven't all been fixed they are still fairly high on
the radar. More testing and feedback may help isolate some of these
issues.
