Comment (by bonefish):

 Replying to [comment:8 Karvjorm]:
 > I will get my null modem cable tomorrow, I hope. But after testing boot
 menu I was able to get syslog to screen and copied some hundred lines with
 my touch typing (and editor of the other box).

 As the boot process gets rather far, the on screen debug output is not
 recommended. If you have a FAT partition or USB stick, you can get a
 syslog with the debug syslog feature in the boot loader menu (cf.
 [http://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/ReportingBugs#Syslog]). In most cases that
 is as reliable as the serial debug output.

 I was wondering the line:
 >

 any USB devices attached to my box just now, so this error message refers
 maybe to missing support to old Intel Chipset, or?

 I'm not an expert in the USB department, but AFAIK there are no
 unsupported chipsets per se. It sounds more like an IRQ assignment issue,
 which may or may not be related to the boot problem. There's still ticket
 #5 tracking that missing feature in Haiku. Your BIOS might have options to
 work around the problem. Also, if you haven't done that already, you could
 try the various safe mode options in the boot loader menu.
