#6153: PANIC: Unable to find a bootable partition, Error Bit Is Set ATA error ---------------------------------------------------------------+------------ Reporter: Zwolfe | Owner: nobody Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: - General | Version: R1/alpha2 Keywords: PANIC,KDL,Error Bit Is Set,ATA,bootable partition | Platform: x86 Blockedby: | Patch: 0 Blocking: | ---------------------------------------------------------------+------------ Progress goes as far as getting to where the Live CD of Alpha 2 checks for hard disks. It throws an "ATA 0/1 Error Bit Is Set" error when locating the HDD's, which there are two of. ATA 0, ATA 1 which I see in KDL. KDL message: "PANIC: Unable to find bootable partition" or a message very similar. Status: 0x51 Error: 0x54 I have a blank partition for installation of Haiku, where Alpha 1 formerly resided. ALPHA 1 LOADS FINE! Alpha 2, not so much. My disc of Alpha 2 loads perfectly on another PC, it isn't the media. I disabled DMA, USB in the BIOS and that did not help. I have forced PIO 4 mode in BIOS for the HDD's, that didn't help either. I have toggled / enabled every safe mode setting of Haiku and nothing works. I spent a whole night trying to get it working. Hardware: Shuttle Socket-A AMD motherboard, nForce 2 Ultra 400 chipset, old Athlon XP CPU. ATA/100 HDD transfer, not SATA. This is hardware from 2002/2003. A Western Digital 120GB drive and a Maxtor 80GB drive I believe. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6153> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
