- fold3 5y agoI'd recommend older hardware or in a VM.
- waddlesplash 5y ago(Haiku developer here.) It works on my Zen 2 machine and I'm pretty sure one other developer runs it on Zen 3. Note that you have to use the EFI loader (only on x86_64) and you might need to use the fail-safe video driver if you get a black screen after the splash. If that doesn't work, yes, file a ticket.
- nyanpasu64 5y ago> Note that you have to use the EFI loader (only on x86_64) Does that mean booting into my flash drive using EFI boot rather than MBR? In EFI boot, Haiku reboots itself after lighting up 0 tiles, and in MBR boot, Haiku hangs at 0 tiles lit. And one time when I hit power, my motherboard didn't power down, but remained on with a black screen, and I smelled magic smoke. My computer still works... for now. > use the fail-safe video driver if you get a black screen after the splash If I hold Shift and/or Space during boot, the same thing happens. Note that I have a Nvidia GT 730 GPU salvaged from an older machine. I suppose I'll file a ticket. EDIT: I can boot nightly 55756 if I hold Shift while restarting Windows, or run `efibootmgr -n ....`, but run into the same self-reboot issue if I press F12 from my motherboard.
