AROS ABIv0 20201110 Development

Ok, but what crashes is not OpenURL but OWB. Does it work if you configure other program than OWB to receive the call?

[AMIGASYSTEM]

With OpenURL I tried to associate a Youtube link with OpenURL, and Amitube opened without getting any Crash, naturalmnete Amitube is not able to execute a Youtube Video Link.

Ok, that's what I thought. It's a problem with starting Odyssey with command line or starting a second Odyssey. This won't be fixed unless someone looks into Odyssey.

With help from Kalamatee I was able to trace the issues with nVidia card on my real hardware. Since it turned out to be an issues with interrupts handling it can actually affect more than just nVidia, especially on newer hardware.

Here is a new ISO:

https://axrt.org/development/AROS-20201110-D15-pc-i386-boot-iso.zip

Please test on your hardware, especially nVidia cards, if all the device that worked with 20201110-1 release are still working.
@AMIGASYSTEM the D15 ISO should now boot on your Dell Mini

Please don't integrated this ISO into your distributions. If tests turn out ok, I will prepare a patch package.

i have an old nvidia quadro nvs 295 256 Mb, works

- With small Netbook Dell Inspiron Mini 910 (IntelGMA 945GSE) now works perfectly, boots from both Native Video Card and VESA.

- CDC Laptop with dual Video Card "NVIDEA NV43M (GeForce Go 6600)" and "Intel GMA Mobile 915GM/GMS 910GML" all OK, they work fine both in "Native" and "VESA" mode

- ACER ASpire 5920 laptop (NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS/GT), now boots in VESA, but in native I get a black screen

Mind you, I started the Build from Pendrive, but if a USB plug (Wireless Mouse) is connected in the Laptop, even the VESA mode does not boot, it seems that the OS then is searched from that USB port where the Mouse is connected.

deadwood by new systems you mean new graphics cards that I know the current gallium supports up to Fermi!

@AMIGASYSTEM, @Amiwell

Thanks for tests.

@Amiwell

By new systems/new hardware I essentially mean motherboards from around 2016 and newer, especially ones that have multiple PCI bridges and many devices (like laptops for example)

[Amiwell]

ok deadwood

All solved, OpenURL "ABIv0 20201110" works perfectly, also OWB works perfectly with OpenURL, it is solved by adding the Stack of "OWB" in the script executed by the icon, see screenshot !

@AMIGASYSTEM

Ok, good to know. Thanks for solving this.

Hi,

Third patch package:
https://axrt.org/development/20201110-PATCH-D3.zip

PATCH-D3:
  - Prefs/ScreenMode crash on nVidia cards
  - fat-handler now recognizes certain Linux-formatted partitions
  - Prefs/Wanderer window width decrease
  - Synchronize stat.h header with other headers (NO_POSIX_COMMON)
  - kernel needs IOAPIC disabled for nVidia PCI-E cards to work
  - https://github.com/deadw00d/AROS/issues/88
  - DiskimageGUI crash
  - AmiGG does not start with GIFAnim (no change needed in AROS)
  - Programs using Toolbar.mcc crash (*)

Open topics:
  - ACPI Reboot/Shutdown on VMs
  - Acer Aspire One / Eepc USB problems
  - https://github.com/deadw00d/AROS/issues/86

(*) This is caused by breaking of backward compatibility introduced in 20180415 release (2021-04-20). The breaking
is now fixed, but programs compiled with broken Toolbar.mcc will not work with fixed one. In case such programs
exist, let me know and I will look for workarounds.

Thanks for the Patch, at the moment I haven't encountered any problems with programs that use Toolbar.mcc, if one happens I will report it to you.

Thanks for the patch Deadwood

My nvidia pci-e work with this iso, apply the patch deadwood?
