OK, sorry.

may come from the monitor (some kind of out-of-sync picture?), the
graphics card may show it when switching the video mode (sounds unlikely),
or the BIOS draws it before calling the boot loader.

Originally this is a Windows 98 computer and no problem to boot Win98
installation CD-ROM, I suppose. And no problem with Kubuntu 10.4
installation CD-ROM either. What is different with Haiku? I wonder if I
could find some third installation CD-ROM for testing?

(can you enter the boot loader menu?). If this box has a serial port and
you have another box with one and a null modem cable, please fetch the
serial debug output.
I have not null modem cable just now, but I have a USB 2.0 Data Transfer
Cable between boxes just now. But I even do not know how to use it in
other end (is it really working in Kubuntu and how I can test it?).
Both boxes include floppy drive (1.44 MB) and it would be fine, if I had a
boot image that would install floppy as a first step and save syslog and
serial debug output to floppy.
