Hello,
I downloaded the Haiku R1 Alpha 3 RC CD Image haiku-r1a3-rc-r42159-cd.zip
and have a serious installation problem.
After booting the CD, I deleted the old Haiku hard drive partition and
wanted to create a new one, but it fails. When I click on CREATE PARTITION
and choose HAIKU Partitition (BFS) and click CREATE (or OK), no partition
is created. Furthermore, I can not enter any volume name when trying to
create the partition. The text box for the volume name is grey. I thought
that it may be a refresh problem, so I clicked on refresh, but there was
no effect. I also tried to INITIALIZE a Haiku partition, but then I get
the error message that I have to create a BFS partition.
In past it worked with many other nightly builds. This bug seems to be
quite new.
My hardware:
AMD Phenom II X4 3.2 GHz
4 GB DDR3 RAM
500 GB SATA Hard Drive (no RAID, primary hd)
10 GB ATA Hard Drive (no raid, secondary hd)
DVD RW Drive
Mainboard: GA-MA790XT-UD4P
I tried to create the BFS partition on the primary hard disk (500 GB SATA
Hard Drive) where I had Haiku installed already months ago. To be exact, I
deleted the already existing BFS partition and then I tried to create a
new one in order to install the new nightly build on a newly created
partition.
I hope that this problem does not occur on all systems. If so, it would be
a blocker for the R1 Alpha 3 release.
Best wishes,
Miroslav Stimac
