#11683: Boot failure: PANIC: acquire_spinlock(): failed to acquire spinlock for a long time -------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: cdesai | Owner: nobody Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Unscheduled Component: - General | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: 7665 Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All -------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by cdesai): Okay so I was able to get it booting finally, but the resolution wasn't right. Some more details: Still the same image/hrev/hardware. Booting directly via the flash drive results in a black screen after the Haiku loading screen finishes because it picks and invalid resolution and the monitor doesn't like that. I then tried a bunch of options from the bootloader menu, some of which resulted in the above. It only allows me to select 4:3 resolutions. So then I started from square one again, and was able to get it to boot by selecting the 'VGA Mode' in the failsafe video option, enabling it and booting into safe mode. I did check the syslog from a working build and the video BIOS did report the correct values, unfortunately I didn't have any FAT partition devices around so I couldn't save the full log, I'll get it next time from a non- working boot via the way you suggested. -- Ticket URL: <https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/11683#comment:6> Haiku <https://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
