Is the bios option for Plug and Play Bios checked for yes ? is so , set it for no. > > Also if you have a thumb drive, put it in the usb slot. do you have a empty partition for haiku ? > > Try safe booting with APM,ACPI,APIC etc etc etc disabled. Your gtx240 should support the vesa driver just fine. I have had or tested all of those components and they all work just fine with haiku. I don't see any plug and play bios options in my bios (phoenix awards bios) I'm trying to get haiku to boot off a usb drive, yes but I don't want to install it on this machine... (at least not yet) I've tried all of those safe options with no progress -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6835#comment:6> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
