Comment: When I try to start beos (from win 95, 98, me, or nt) it hits the 4th dot, then freezes!
I've never been able to use it for the past 3 years! What does it look like? AMD-K7 800 overclocked to 920
Gigabyte GA7IXE Mainboard
256 Megs of ram
Newer Maxtor Harddrive (20 Gigs)
Award Bios (Oh No! Bios!) Please Help!

Reply: (edit)Hi Jeff ! This is not a BIO... No, I'm kidding... Did you try to hit the space key during the boot sequence (when there is a little cube in the upper left corner of your screen) ? You should access a special boot menu that could help you (by de-activating some drivers, choosing the boot device, etc...) I hope this whill help you Laurent

Reply: (edit)I'm assuming you're using the professional version
5.0, right? Well, I have bad news for you. BeOS absolutely
will not boot on an overclocked processor. Sorry.

Reply: (edit)I suggest that you use the FDD-boot.
Otherwise,you must turn back the cpu clock.

Reply: (edit)I don't know what you are talking about
with the overclocking, im running 2
celerons 433's at 510, and my system
runs and boots awsome, if you are using
the beos loader from windows, I would
suggest hitting f8 when your system is
booting and choose safe mode DOS only. then cd beos, and I think you run
loadbeos.com? or something like that, if
you view the directory it should show up. after running loadbeos be should load
up.

Reply: (edit)I feel your pain, Jeff Katz. I also have not gotten past that same damn icon for months. My system isn't overclocked, but it is very similiar to yours - AMD K6-2 475, Gigabyte 5smm board, Award bios. I've tried everything - I just wish Beos would boot anyway, then tell me what's wrong, or some kind of text error message.

Reply: (edit)same problem. 4 dots and then hanging. Tried everything, even installed win ME - as if that would help (NOT). Now I understand I also have a problem because I can't get to a dos prompt with WinME. I know there is a registry edit that can fax it but consider it too scary... anyone else have any suggestions? Thanks much
