I've noticed an odd behavior where my system will sometimes boot all the way up, and other times will only boot to the third icon and never light up the fourth (the one that looks like a chip with socket legs on it). If I reboot, bingo, I go right in most of the time. I'm using an ASUS F2A55-M with AMD processor, and it occurs on every system I build with that configuration. I've experienced it with Haiku versions going back probably at least six months, maybe longer, and I also experience it in very recent builds. Is there something I should look at in BIOS or in OS settings, to solve this?
The syslog would be of interest. You'll either have to get it via serial connection, check it in KDL (command "syslog"), or view/save it via the boot loader menu after the reboot (in debug options).
If you can enter KDL, you could check what thread "main2" is doing. Since the boot hangs, it is apparently not progressing for some reason.
