NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT

Why do you say this card is not supported? What happens when you try booting with native drivers?

Win10 sees the card as an NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS.

In native mode I get a Black screen

Can you try booting with native drivers but with noacpi option added to boot command line?

Additionally, can you give me PCI Product ID (or make a screen shot from PCITool with card selected).

I attach screenshot PCI Tools (On this laptop "Aspire 5920" the audio doesn't work either)

Excuse me could you tell me exactly where to put the noacpi option, thanks

I entered the noacpi option in the Grub.cfg le the screen remains black, maybe I got the command wrong or the place to enter the option?

The product ID is listed in nouveau, so it should at least try to boot.

See the screen shot on where to add the option.

FYI, the setting of attributes was a false lead. Setting isIO to FALSE was stopping debug being shown. What I see now is that in ACPI mode, the video card is not sending interrupts and driver hands on waiting for signal that command queue was processed. I will have to look deeper on why interrupts are not generated.

I tested an Eee PC 700. Boot fails with the recent 2019-04 ISOs with both VESA and IntelGMA graphics. I then bisected the failure with the older ISOs: 2016 is good, 2017 is bad.

See the 2017 guru attached.

@ncafferkey

Is the result any different with 'noacpi' or 'noioapic' options?

@ncafferkey

I found out that the problem with the Eee PC is different from what I originally thought. When I disable ATA, boot gets stuck on the "Waiting for bootable media" screen. So it seems AROS can't see the USB stick and I think that previously it was trying to boot from an old, incompatible AROS installation on the SSD from that point, resulting in the guru I posted earlier.

However, there now instead seems to be a USB regression on this machine, since AROS can't see USB sticks (nor possibly any USB devices or host interfaces). I've tried two different models of USB stick BTW. USB isn't seen when I add noacpi and/or noioapic either.

BTW, I would have identified the real problem sooner, except that the boot option ATA=off no longer works. Luckily, as a last-minute check, I tried the equivalent but less convenient ATA=nopci,nolegacy to disable ATA. Can this be looked at as well?

Good to hear you made progress. I will see about re-introducing ATA=off, for the time being I think you can simply remove ata.device from kernel modules list - this should have the same effect I think.
