 Well, your issue maybe the same.  A serial debug log is required to see
 what is really going on.  Ask on mailing list or forum.  You cannot get
 serial log if boot failure happens early on.  This ticket is impossible to
 fix without any debug log!

 I have installed or tested Haiku on Intel boards - 440BX, Atom330, Core
 i3, on VIA KT600 & KT800, on Nvidia Nforce2, etc. and seen many others
 install to Intel & Nvidia boards.  It is the AMD boards where you mostly &
 clearly see this booting issue happening pointing to boot loader, ATA
 stack (or south bridge) bug.

 thatguy also noticed that, '' "Haiku [does not work] with certain dual cpu
 implementations of the old 440bx intel chipset on dual and single cpu P3
 boards for whatever reason. I have tried a few and had 10 work and 2 not
 work." '' But without listing of hardware (lspci -nn in Linux) for failed
 systems, hard to tell what they have in common with your 440BX to at least
 pinpoint what hardware triggers no boot on those few BX boards.[[BR]]

 I see you have a ticket filed already but without debug log (serial or
 syslog) that bug will be unfixable.  If you use Linux, do lspci -nn for
 440BX board & attach to your ticket so we can view a device list.
