Every month or so I attempt to boot Haiku natively on a MacBookPro
(C2D Oct 2006 generation), and today was the very first time Haiku
actually booted to desktop (with Rev 29458). To install Haiku on
MBP, I used VMWare Fusion (bootcamp mode allows access to physical
disk partition) and Zeta (there is probably an easier way, but this
works for me), and the ATA driver.
Thanks for the report ! I have a Mac mini Core Solo (2006 gen), and I
regularly test Haiku on it (installing from Linux) and until now I was
just getting a hang after the blue background and the cursor appeared
(with the ata bus manager - with the ide one it stops after the disk
icon at boot).
I will give it another test with later revisions.
This is a status of what works:
Sound - Media kit says that it identifies Intel HD audio, but no
sound comes out of speaker or headphone - may need to play with
channel settings
IIRC, this is a common issue : Linux had the same behaviour (detecting
the card but not playing any sound) before it was fixed (I'm not sure
about the issue though). Windows also does not make any sound until
you install the BootCamp drivers.
By the way, if you are using rEFIt to choose what OS you want to
launch at boot, you can get rid of that ugly "BIOS-based OS" generic
icon used for the Haiku partition ;-)
Just put an icon named "os_haiku.icns" in the folder /efi/refit/icons
of the Mac OS X partition, reboot and see the result.
For instance, my boot menu looks like this : http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/161/img2563.jpg
(Yes, even if it does not boot, I made an icon for Haiku :-p )
