Hi
I have a pc with installed Linux Mint, Windows and AROS. Each s.o. has its own hard drive. While Linux and Windows have SATA disks, Aros is connected to an ATA port/ disk. To install Aros I had to unplug the two SATA disks. Aros was unable to be installed with them connected.
Now having reconected the two disks, Aros boots but is giving a mount error and then the WB is not completely load, at least works but without background picture and mouse arrow squared. Actually I hve installed ArosOne 1.9 Moreover the two disks are not mounted on the WB (as expected due to the error).
It is possible to avoid the mounting of the two disks or may be,with latest upcoming version, things may be better?
On the other hand under Linux the Aros disk is not recognized.
Assuming above problems can be solved how can I add Aros to the Linux Grub menu?
thanks

Has the "Mount" error been provoved by a change to the operating system ?
If you need access to AROS, you could boot the PC from an AROS Live Pendrive, of course you will have to enable Bootloader on the PC so that you boot the PC from USB device.
Regarding Linux, surely someone here can help you configure GRUB

L'errore "Mount" è stato provovato da una modifica al sistema operativo ?
Se ti occorre accedere ad AROS, potresti avviare il PC da una Pendrive Live di AROS, naturalmente dovrai abilitare il Bootloader sul PC in modo da avviare il PC da periferica USB.
Riguardo Linux, sicuramente qui qualcuno potrà aiutarti a configurare il GRUB.

If you just want to avoid the errors and can live with the SATA disks being inaccessible from AROS, you probably just need to disable ahci.device. You can remove it from the list of modules under each boot entry in grub.cfg.
It may not be possible to allow AROS to access the SATA disks properly. Does anyone know if the 8GB limit bug was ever fixed?

If I read correctly in the attached link, partitions can be created up to 128 GB, then you just have to adjust to the limit of the SFS Filesystem

The 128GB limit is for SFS, but there is/was an 8GB limit with ahci.device due to a bug. This could be worked around by setting the disks to legacy mode and accessing them with ata.device, but other OSes may cause problems if you do that.
