AROS ABIv11 20230430 Development

[ncafferkey]

I also did some tests with various builds regarding the networking regression. The test I did was as follows:
1. Open network prefs, add an interface, keep the default PCNet driver, click Use.
2. Run "ifconfig net0" a few times with some seconds waiting in between, and check if a DHCP address has been assigned.

Results:
"alpha-1": bad
"alpha-3": bad
"alpha-4": bad
2023-04-xx-d1: bad
2023-03-19 (32-bit ABIv1): good
2023-04-08 (64-bit ABIv1): bad
2023-04-08 (32-bit ABIv1): does not boot

EDIT: these tests were with VirtualBox.

Thanks for reporting network and USB problems. They are documented here for future solving:

https://github.com/deadw00d/AROS/issues/99
https://github.com/deadw00d/AROS/issues/98

FYI, I was thinking of adding pc-x86_64 ISOs to official releases but with existing problems that is too soon. I will continue with these builds as "alpha" status until the major issues are resolved.

In my Acer Aspire 5630 and HP Z400 Workstation does not boot in native mode or vesa, reference iso works fine on vesa

[deadwood]

@Amiwell

Can you please try this ISO on your hardware?

[Amiwell]

do not work deadwood, again i can use only the laptop acer aspire 5630 for testing

[Amiwell]

without the module i8042.hidd it works but the keyboard doesn't go and only in vesa

[deadwood]

Ok, for me to understand correctly:

alpha-3 works in VESA with module i8042.hidd
alpha-4 works in VESA but only when module i8042.hidd is removed
D1 - does not work in VESA even with module i8042.hidd remove

Is that correct understanding?

[Amiwell]

no

alpha 3 works whitout module i8042
alpha 4 works whitout module i8042
d1 do not works maybe whitout module i8042 yes works

ps. I forgot Happy Easter and thank you

[deadwood]

Can you then check D1 without module i8042.hidd and report?

[Amiwell]

ok i will try again

[deadwood]

Hello,

New ISO is available, fixing mostly issues with boot: https://axrt.org/development/aros-pc-x86_64-alpha-5.zip

There are two more open topics before the release is made, unless some other major problems are found.

Code: [Select]

Open topics:
- Regression in Cycle.mui when clicking cycle gadget
- MPlayer does not play video when video opened from icon

Fixed:
- Shutting down in VirtualBox no longer works
- Warm reboot causes crash
- When using SATA, disk names are not automatic pre-filled in InstallAROS blocking installation
- InstallAROS does not install Development directory
- Configuring NVMe disk in VirtualBox causes booting to freeze
- Warm reboot on VirtualBox and Qemu
- nvme.device crash in VirtualBox when booting
- i8042.hidd delays/freezes boot on certain hardware
- crash in pciusb.device when booting

Wont-fix:
- USB mouse/keyboard is only detected is connected during boot
- Delay ~10 seconds when booting SATA disk
- nvme.device/SFS error in VirtualBox when installing

ok deadwood test it on my acer aspire 5630 at moment

[Amiwell]

[deadwood]

Thanks for testing

After doing an installation on USB stick the mouse pointer is not seen, the command "c:partition" at the beginning gave me problems doing wipedisk from the system installer everything crashed the first time, only after a restart and repeating the operation worked
