Interesting...I wonder if something broke at a higher level...I had problems
several days ago whereby I was just trying to update to the latest because I
couldn't build anymore without link errors, and now my Haiku has the single row
of icons and no logo...but the icons never illuminated and it seemed frozen.
Due to some unforeseen life circumstances at the moment, I didn't have time to
mess with it...but I assumed user error on my part so I was going to reinstall
from a DVD.
Do other people cross-compile so they're not aware of haiku boot problems?

Hi All,
This is not going well. I have done git pull --tags
git://git.haiku-os.org/haiku and removed the files I had
been working on
with git checkout <files>. I ran the pkgman
update using the
repositories on the web page
https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/daily-tasks/updating-system
which allowed jam clean && jam haiku.hpkg to compile
without any complaints.
I used pkgman install <haiku.hpkg location>, and it
said "upgrade
hrev50167-1-x86_gcc2 to hrev50167-1-x86_gcc2" etc with
matching hrevs.
The problem is that when I reboot I get two rows of icons,
one in the
normal location and one above it, obscuring the Haiku
logo. The top row
of icons illuminate normally, but when all of the icons on
the top row
are illuminated, the system hangs. The bottom row
never illuminates.
Rebooting and holding down the shift key does not
work. The only thing
that works is rebooting from an installer iso image and
reinstalling -
which then has a boot screen with the normal row of icons
but _no_ Haiku
logo. From there I can pkgman update as above, which
restores the Haiku
logo.
I have tried this more than once, and short of doing a hard
reset with
git, I am pretty sure I do not have any custom code in the
kernel or
runtime_loader with this build.
Has anyone seen this before? What causes two rows of
boot icons?
Thank you,
tim
