Hi all I am having issues on the aforementioned machine, I can only run the live cd for so long before I am dropped to the kernel debugger and I can't complete the system installation as after a seemingly random error occurs during installation and the same thing happens, I would like to help track down this issue if possible, I will be able to provide more information on tuesday if required. If I can help develop the solution I would be happy to help with that too.
When you see a random "white" screen it can be a KDL (Kernel Crash) or a gdb prompt (App server crash) Either way, if your keyboard works, type bt once to get a back trace and take a picture of the text. 1) do a search on dev.haiku-os.org for a few lines of that back trace. 2) if you can't find any existing issues, open a new issue: Open a new bug on dev.haiku-os.org along the lines of: "<KDL/GDB> on eeepc 901, <error Message>" Choose KDL or GDB based on what you saw... replace <error message> with one of the important looking lines. The description should be what you were doing before this happened and the hardware details. Attach the screenshot to the ticket. Thanks! -- Alex
