AROS ABIv0 20201110 Development

[ntromans]

Firstly, apologies for coming late to the current round of testing.

Testing for shutdown & rebbot with teh D15 iso. At the moment this has been tried with Samsung n130 netbook and HP EliteBook 8470p, same results for both:

Shutdown - displays screen telling to use Power button OR

Reboot cold - reboots from BIOS

Reboot - reboots AROS only

Cheers,
Nigel.

P.S. Issue with Samsung's trackpad not being recognised is still present with this ISO.

Laptop Samsung R730 -> Never worked Mouse and Intel GMA 4500M Video Card

When you say " Never worked Mouse..." is that the trackpad not being recognised? Maybe same issue as my Samsung netbook (fixed by using a very old version of i8042.hidd)?

Cheers,
Nigel.

If I remember correctly it didn't work with the old buids either, can you attach your version of i8042.hidd here so I can do some testing !

The Wireless Mouse however works well

Thanks, with the old version "i8042.hidd" you attached the Trackpad (Touchpad) of my Samsung R730 Laptop works fine

Thanks!

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.

FYI: I tried all the hardware I have and none of them has USB regression. On some Dell laptops "cats eyes" flash for a second or two during WARM reboot, but USB boot eventually works. I never got "cats eyes" on COLD start. I'm unable to address the Eee PC regresion.

I found a regression with D15 compared to D14. My Dell Precision T7500 workstation and Inspiron 6400 laptop both hang at "[Kernel:APIC-IA32] MSI Interrupts Allocatable". They boot if I use noioapic.

I tried on the Dell hardware I have: Latitude E6410 and E6430. In both cases the default boot (using IO-APIC) and with 'noioapic' options succeed. I won't be able to handle this problem.

A followup on problems with reboot, please try this kernel: https://axrt.org/development/kernel-20230319.gz

Rename to kernel.gz and overwrite existing file in Arch/pc

This possibly solves Reboot (warm reboot) on default configuration (VESA 1024x768 etc). I confirmed it solves warm reboot under VirtualBox and QEMU

Please use the same hardware/same configuration as previously. No need to test Shutdown and Reboot Cold. Test only Reboot.

in my configuration rastart computer works, also restart aros sorry do not understand warm or cold reboot

Earlier in this thread, Deadwood asked that we test reboot/shutdown using shell comands, i.e. "Shutdown", "Reboot" (reboot AROS) and "Reboot COLD" (reboot computer).

Warm reboot tests with new kernel (2023-03-19):

	Previous kernel	New kernel
Toshiba NB 550D:	cold reboots	warm reboots
Dell Inspiron 6400:	warm reboots	warm reboots
Dell Latitude 3330:	cold reboots	warm reboots (eyes shown)
Dell Latitude D630:	warm reboots	warm reboots
HP Compaq 6710b:	cold reboots	warm reboots
HP Compaq nc6320:	cold reboots	hangs (black screen)*
Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Li 1718:	cold reboots	too unstable to test

* warm reboots if noioapic is used.

You need to type from a Shell the following commands:

Reboot (Cold reboot, means nothing remains in memory)
Reboot Cold (Warm reboot, something remains in memory, for example the famous RAD)
Shut Down (Shut down, power interruption)

Restart (Shut down, power supply is temporarily interrupted) -> This command does not exist on AROS


---- Italiano -----

Devi digitare da una Shell i seguenti comandi:

Reboot (Riavvio a freddo, significa che non resta nulla in memoria)
Reboot Cold (Riavvio a caldo, resta qualcosa in memoria, per esempio il famoso RAD)
Shut Down (Spegnimento, interruzione alimentazione)

Restart (Spegnimento, l'alimentazione viene temporaneamente interrotta) -> Questo comando non esiste su AROS

You got "Reboot" and "Reboot COLD" the wrong way around, and "Shut Down" won't work with a space in it. I already replied with similar information in any case.

Thanks! With Dell Latitude 3330 I assume "eyes shown" means that eyes are shown for a few seconds but then the warm boot continues and works correctly?
