#6095: system freezes completely while loading desktop -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- Reporter: tb | Owner: nobody Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: - General | Version: R1/alpha2 Keywords: | Platform: All Blockedby: | Patch: 0 Blocking: | -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- I should have tried the livecd before installing, but didn't. The livecd does work fine on a different computer. The installer worked fine. When running from cdrom, the deskbar, the three leftmost desktop icons and the background image appear, then the system freezes. I cannot get into KDL. I can move the mouse around before the freeze. When running from disk, the deskbar appears, a faint click is heard from the speakers (maybe also when running from cdrom, but that drive is too noisy), then the system freezes. Again I cannot get into KDL. When enabling safe mode and running from disk, the system seems frozen for a second after the desktop loads, then appears to work fine. Then I can get into KDL. No clicks this way. Other boot options don't seem to matter. I tried the following combinations: * all in safe mode menu (works) * all in safe mode menu except safe mode (doesn't work) * only safe mode itself (works) This is a relatively old laptop with unsurprising hardware and enough memory (512M), see attachments for details. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6095> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
