#8943: Haiku (64-bit) crashes at boot on Acer Aspire X1200 ----------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: Luposian | Owner: xyzzy Type: bug | Status: reopened Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Drivers/Disk | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: 7665 Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: x86-64 ----------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by Luposian): I think I discovered my problem. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the LG DVD-RW drive I just bought from Best Buy is the problem. When I plugged in an older DVD-ROM drive, the above 64-bit Haiku image (hrev 45222) I complained wouldn't boot, booted perfectly fine! I'm replying from it! Apart from the fact there are a lot of programs and apps missing from this image, is there an absolutely positive way to confirm this is a 64-bit version of Haiku? Nothing seems to say it anywhere I look. Not in the About, not in WebPositive, nothing. Is there some Terminal command or something that would confirm this for me? I'd like to be able to use the LG DVD-RW drive, but not sure how anyone would code around it. I can give a model number and anything on the box, but I can't boot this image from it, so I can't locate any particular info on it and my Acer Aspire X1200 only has two SATA ports! One for the DVD drive and one for the hard drive! I could possible use the SATA cable from the hard drive and put it on the LG DVD-RW drive and see if Haiku can tell me anythingh about that drive, when I boot from the older DVD-ROM drive. Funny thing... I had a simliar issue with Windows Vista years ago... it wouldn't install from the DVD-ROM drive I had just bought, but booted from another DVD drive I had!
