AROS ABIv11 Release Thread

@AMIGASYSTEM

You should try deleting the i8042.hidd like I suggested @Amiwell.

BTW, in a way you are lucky. USB doesn't work on my real hardware.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Yes I already tried to delete i8042.hidd, but nothing changes, it stops at the same point.

About the Pendrive I don't think it's luck, if you try my procedure you should succeed

- Run Vipe Disk with InstallerAROS (AROS ABIv0)
- After System Reboot
- From Wanderer Quickly Format DU0

- Boot ISO "aros-pc-x86_64-alpha-3 and run InstallerAROS normall, without using Vipe Disk

This way Install AROS "pretends to format", probably skips the formatting and continues with the installation normally.

[deadwood]

FYI: I'm saying USB does not work on my hardware. Not just pendrive, but all USB devices are not visible.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Sorry deadwood I understood that the problem was on InstallAROS.

On WMware with "aros-pc-x86_64-alpha-3, no problem with Pendrives, successfully tried all my Pendrives !

[deadwood]

FYI, If you are having problems booting -alpha3 on your hardware, there are two workarounds you can try:

1) remove i8042.hidd
2) add "noacpi" switch to kernel command line in grub

[AMIGASYSTEM]

1) remove i8042.hidd
2) add "noacpi" switch to kernel command line in grub

Using all 2 solutions at the same time, in VESA nothing changes, same error.

Using all 2 solutions at the same time, in Native it crashes on Video Card error (not supported I suppose), see screenshot:

I am booting ACER Aspire 5920 Laptop (NVIDIA GeForce 8600M) from Pendrive.

I tried to install it on the hard disk everything goes fine but it doesn't boot, thanks deadwood!

[Amiwell]

usb stick installation works fine

[AMIGASYSTEM]

deadwood, is it possible to fix the problems on Zune Gadgets ? all the details can be found in THIS post


I= Iconify (It works well)
P= Zunemenu Prefs (doesn't work on AROS, works fine on OS3)
S= Snapshot (doesn't work on AROS ?)
M= Zune Prefs GUI (Lock Wanderer)

Tiny Aros 64 Experimental

I'm not interested in doing this Zune work ATM, but maybe there are other devs who would be interested.

[deadwood]

@Amiwell

Very nice, thank you. BTW, there is MPlayer and MUIBase on the archives compiled for x86_64

[Amiwell]

deadwood mplayer, beebase(ex muibase), dopus4, unarc, arospdf, mysticview, amitube, lunapaint, povray works fine, thanks

ps.text2pdf built in contrib package do not works!

[AMIGASYSTEM]

deadwood question, but will AROS ABIv11 support the existing ABIv0 software, or is some kind of conversion planned?

Making a Distro AROS One based on ABIv11 I think is very premature ! also because it might confuse many inexperienced users

Regarding Zune, one should make the report that the Gadgets are not working as they should.

[deadwood]

deadwood question, but will AROS ABIv11 support the existing ABIv0 software, or is some kind of conversion planned?

I'm thinking of adding some sort of emulation layer so that ABIv0 programs "run" on x86_64. This is however far into the future, definitely not before ABIv0 catches up with master repository codebase.
