#8943: Haiku crashes at boot on Acer Aspire X1200 ----------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: Luposian | Owner: xyzzy Type: bug | Status: reopened Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Drivers/Disk | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: 7665 Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ----------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by Luposian): The Acer Aspire X1200 is not a laptop. Google it. It's a skinny desktop unit (though maybe there is a laptop version of which I am not aware). However, I will assume you are most likely correct in your assumption, since the system is a cheap Acer system and, therefore, likely to not have the most compliant BIOS updates, since systems nowadays are all throw-away technology. 2009-2012 is like... eons in computer terms. I'd rather find a system (motherboard), Haiku worked properly with, out of the box, rather than try to finagle a "work-around" for the X1200. Should I stick to basically building a system from scratch, rather than buying an OEM system from Best Buy or elsewhere? -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8943#comment:62> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
