#8343: Why does Bootman not work and Haiku won't install/boot? ------------------------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: Luposian | Owner: bonefish Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Partitioning Systems/Intel | Version: R1/alpha3 Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: x86 ------------------------------------------+----------------------- Comment (by Luposian): I ran Active@ KILLDISK to zero the drive and make one 320Gb empty drive. Haiku sees no usable partitions. I was going to just Init the drive, but then didn't know if I should use Intel partition map or Be File System. Also, does it need a partitioned/formatted drive BEFORE initializing the drive, or is a blank/zero'd drive perfectly ok with it? The first image is of Haiku not recognizing the drive. The second image is what Haiku shows after I tried to partition/format the drive in Lubuntu and then Init the drive as BFS, and install Haiku. After reboot, all I get is Haiku's boot menu and no visible drive/partition! The Live CD drive setup program then shows what you see... weird! I have since run Active@ KILLDISK again and am starting with a completely zero'd (unpartitioned?) drive again. Let's see where we get, starting from scratch again... now, what do I do? Haiku will say no partitions recognized. Then I go to the disk utility. What do I do from there? Does the drive have to be partitioned/formatted (with another OS) FIRST, or will it work fine completely zero'd (zeros written to the entire drive)? Do I initialize using "Intel Partition Map..." or "Be File System..."? I used to be able to do this so easily... now I can't get anything to work! :-( -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8343#comment:6> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
