#8111: Haiku refuses to boot. on Gateway NV55S09u -------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: Luposian | Owner: nobody Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: - General | Version: R1/alpha3 Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: x86 -------------------------+----------------------- Comment (by mmlr): Replying to [comment:16 Luposian]: > Ok, here are the pictures of the Syslog (Zipped to save space), from the crash. First, please don't zip stuff up, it doesn't really save any space (the jpegs are already compressed) but makes it far less convenient for someone looking at the report (as one can't just take a look at the pictures in the preview). Then that isn't the log I'm looking for. Either enable the debug syslog, boot up to the KDL, reboot and then grab the previous syslog from the bootloader via the menu, or (easier) take pictures of the on-screen debug output while booting (up to the KDL). What you attached now is just the log of the bootloader starting up, which isn't revealing anything. Again: Enable on-screen debug output and take a picture of each page of output until you land in KDL. The font size of the on-screen debug output is far smaller, so it won't be as many pictures. > anyone able to tell me what a TAR filesystem is? That's one I've NEVER heard of! FAT, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, HFS, HFS+, BFS, Minix, etc. THOSE I've heard of... but TAR? Nope! :-D It's a filesystem based on the TAR format (tape archive, .tar, .tar.gz ...) and is used because the netboot archive for booting via PXE is a TAR file. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8111#comment:17> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
