Comment (by Luposian):
Ok, I can create working 64-bit Haiku CD .iso images in Lubuntu 12.04. I
can BOOT those CD's, using my older DVD-ROM drive. I can INSTALL
"Haiku64" on my second partition, from those CD's. But then... a very
odd, but interesting "situation" occurs:
I CAN'T use the Haiku Boot options to boot that partition (CRASH @ disk w/
leaf icon). I CAN'T use Grub to boot that partition (CRASH @ disk w/ leaf
icon). I CAN'T boot the CD from my LG DVD-RW drive (CRASH @ disk w/ leaf
icon), but...
If I simply leave the CD in the LG DVD-RW drive, the Haiku partition
boots! And, let me tell you, I have '''NEVER''' seen Haiku boot faster...
we're talking MAYBE 10 seconds. I kid you not. The entire boot sequence
set of icons are ALL lit up '''instantly''' and the desktop appears about
3-5 seconds later.
So now comes the big question... WHY? Why does just leaving the CD in the
drive make the Haiku partition boot (BLINDINGLY fast!), when nothing else
will? Yet, I CAN'T boot that disc from that drive (yet CAN, from the
older DVD-ROM drive) and the Haiku partition will NOT boot any other way?
I'm thinking, if I can "install" builds directly to the partition, then I
simply use the disc I have to always boot into that partition, but... it's
a little bit of a weird "work-around", to keep from having to swap my SATA
cables from one drive to the other, over and over (which, I imagine, will
eventually wear out either the cables or the ports).
What is needed from me, to help diagnose this situation?
