New version, hopefully this time installation works with 4GB RAM

https://axrt.org/development/aros-pc-x86_64-alpha-3.zip

Note: it has some debug enabled, so you will see some text scrolling. It's ok.
Note: use the default selected grub menu option

@AMIGASYSTEM

This version now prints more information in case it does not detect a correct CPU. Please make a screen shot of that on your VMs.

deadwood, this ISO works perfectly on VMware, I initialized and installed AROs without any problem.

The Reboot and Reboot Cold command works fine, the system reboots without closing VMware.

Reset with the "CTRL-ALT A" keys also works fine.

Do I need to test any particular application?

Not at this time, thanks for test.

@Deadwood

Not sure what happened, but at 1st I'd get the same crash when trying with to install using 32GB (although formatting drives did work), then the same with 16GB, but 8GB worked fine.
However while slowly incrementing RAM beyond 8GB by 1GB at a time I managed to reach 16GB with things still working, then again with 32GB and then 64GB (didn't try beyond this).

I still get an immediate crash of the VM when configuring the VM to more than 16 cpu cores though. Definitely doesn't hurt in practice given AROS's currently single threaded nature, but thought you might to know still.

Was was the nature of this crash? Did you get any guru requester or VM just shut down? If you are able to repeat these crashes, let me know.

These issues won't be solve by my in near future, so next ISOs will also have this problem.

It was the exact same thing as the screenshot I added to reply #33 in this thread.
This time however it didn't occur until after pressing "proceed" on the part of the installer where it gives the user the option to use "work" partition, "use work partition for extras and development files". This was consistently the case while it was crashing. I dont think this was the case with previous ISOs (cant recall off the top of my head, but I think previous builds crashed earlier).

I'd planned on taking a screenshot to show you, but then things just started working again  :)

Not sure any of this feedback will prove useful for you, but thought I'd let you know just incase.
I'll let you know, and take screenshots if I can replicate it again.

Does it display anything on the screen? If so, can you make a photo?

@Amiwell

What happens when you edit grub command line and remove line 'module /Devs/Drivers/i8042.hidd' and boot?

deadwood I tested the ISO on Pendrive the ISO "aros-pc-x86_64-alpha-3" on my old laptop "Aspire 5920", The Pendrive starts but then crashes,see screenshot !

Aspire 5920 Specifications:

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 (2.00GHz, 4MB cache L2, FSB 800MHz)
Chipset: Intel 965PM , Intel ICH8
RAM: 4GB
Video card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256MB dedicated memory

I add that VMWare with ISO "aros-pc-x86_64-alpha-3" does not allow to initialize and format a Pendrive, to install AROS "aros-pc-x86_64-alpha-3"

In order to install "aros-pc-x86_64-alpha-3" I had to first initialize, and format the Pendrive to AROS One, done this, the ISO "aros-pc-x86_64-alpha-3" performed installation on the pendrive without any problem
