AROS ABIv11 20230430 Development

[terminills]

I have two USB 2.0 compatible ports

Needs to be USB compatible chipset not a usb 2 port via legacy emulation.

ah ok thanks  from the boot menu the stick is not recognized, the same with linux is recognized

[AMIGASYSTEM]

 Amiwell go to the Bios and verify the Boot Menu options, it may be that USB Boot is disabled !

[Amiwell]

everything is ok in the bios the boot from usb is active

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Strange to me it starts on all PCs, tried all the ports USB? on the PC when you avii it the Choice Menu comes out?

Strano a me si avvia su tutti i PC, provato tutte le porte USB? sul PC quando lo avii esce il Menu scelta?

[Amiwell]

It is a new generation computer aros is not seen from a usb stick i also tried your distribution, linux and windows are recognized.
At this point I just have to try to boot with an external cd reader, however only x86_64 abiv11 I can try I have a nvme disk and achi system there is no legacy mode

[AMIGASYSTEM]

OK then it may be that it depends on AROS !

[Amiwell]

I'll keep you updated especially because the computer has a network card that should be compatible you also have an nvidia graphics card that should be recognized with the next gallium update so let's see

Tested AROS ABIv11, and integrated on AROS One 64Bit, the system I see it much more stable, the incompatibilities with the software included Extras and in Contrib remain.

With Dopus4 nothing has changed, it is not usable, you can't configure or change anything, otherwise text disappears from buttons, also frequently crashes !

the EFI stuff needs to be on a fat32 formatted drive according to Kalamatee

[Amiwell]

ok I understand

Finally had some time to download a copy of ABIv1, specifically the alpha 6 iso, for testing. All of my testing will be native.

First impressions are, really fast! Stabillity wise it feels pretty solid and great to see 4 GB being recorded by AROS. I've been able to boot both from the ISO and USB after using the install AROS tool. One very small issue with the latter - I had to manually format the partition on the USB after creating it before I could install the system.

A couple of bumps in the road - my Celeron desktop has a (fairly old now) Nvidea Geforce; works fine under ABI0 but ABI1 thought it was IntelGMA and crashed out, so I had to boot under VESA. I also tried the USB on a HP laptop (Elitebook). Audio on that works fine under AHI under ABI0 but, whilst it does produce output for ABI1, every sound output produces this error in the attahced image. The USB boots on a another HP laptop but I cant't check audio for that as it's not supported (same as ABI0).

Loking forwards to trying out ABI1 further,

Cheers,
Nigel.

Thanks for the tests. At this point you indeed should assume that VESA is the way to go as well as AHI won't work correctly.

PS. The alpha-6 ISO is ABIv11 - it's different than ABI1 from official repository.

Of course - I appreciate very much 'work in progress'.

A few further tests:

Networking - unfortunately the HP Elitbook does not have a supported WiFi card, so I'm having to use a Netgear 8180 dongle which is tempremental under ABI0. I always found I got a moie consistent connection to the router if I executed startnet, then stopped the network using stopnet, and then restarted. Trying this (when I issued stopnet) caused an error in bsdsocket (please see attached). Wirelessmanager put up its icon but did not show any networks or connect to my router (output below).

I tried some of the demos; quite a few worked fine but 'teapot' threw up the error shown below.

Finally, when I tired to 'ctrl-alt-delete' to reset the computer I recieved an error from the shutdown process; when I tried to click on .more. the machine reset to bios.

Cheers,
Nigel.
