Have I missed a step or something? I finally decided I'd better install
a PM version of Haiku (:-/), so I downloaded the current nightly (47380)
image to my (2 year old) Haiku work system, and used the Installer to
put it on a fresh (extended) 16G partition.
It's at base a Ubuntu laptop, so I went to linux and updated grub to
know about the new partition (essentially copying what I have for the
current two Haiku ones; I used gparted to check I was using the right
ID).
However, when I try to boot it, I get "Couldn't start OS". I thought
for some reason it might need the new makebootable, even though it said
it created the MBR on installation, so I downloaded that and ran it.
(Just to make certain I was doing it right, I copied it to the
"system/non-packaged/bin" folder in the new system, and from a Terminal
there did "./makebootable .". It reported it had installed it.
Still no joy, though. Never had any trouble running pre-PM Haiku. Any
suggestions?
Thanks,
