AROS ABIv0 20190416 Development

[Amiwell]

ok deadwood thank you

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Hi,

we arrived at the final iteration for ISO upgrades: 20190416

https://axrt.org/development/AROS-20190416-D5-pc-i386-boot-iso.zip

I need to warn you though, that amount of internal changes in this last iteration is bigger than all 4 combined. Expect regression and possible loss of binary compatibility. Especially please test whole installation process - there were changes to grub and InstallAROS. Next step is to upgrade contrib archive to similar date. Once this is done I will start fixing reported problems.

Fixed:
- mouse pointer is visible again

Not fixed:
- IntelGMA regression

Great, I will immediately integrate it on AROS One x6 v1.8 and report any problems encountered !

[Amiwell]

deadwood i have this problem at boot

[deadwood]

What happens if you click "More"

[Amiwell]

ok

[deadwood]

Ok, we will have to debug this at some point. What CPU does this computer have? Do you have another computer to try on?

Also, does -D4 work on this machine or also crashes?

[Amiwell]

deadwood i have an intel core 2 quad, yes i have another computer and -d4 works fine

[Amiwell]

On another computer there is the same problem it is an intel xeon

[deadwood]

Ok, let's wait if others experience same problem. I don't have it when using VirtualBox

[AMIGASYSTEM]

I haven't done extensive testing, but on WMWare D5 it is perfect, integrated on AROS One v 1.8, finally App Palette has also arrived on AROS x86 (on AROS 68k it always existed)

More tarti I will try your ISO on _ACER Aspire One ZG5, Dell Inspiron Mini 910, ACER ASpire 5920 and Samsung R730

[Amiwell]

Ok, let's wait if others experience same problem. I don't have it when using VirtualBox

I don't know how to use VirtualBox Deadwood however he tried @amigasystem

[AMIGASYSTEM]

@deadwood

I mastered your ISO D5 to Pendrive and it booted perfectly on real PCs: ACER Aspire One ZG5, Dell Inspiron Mini 910, ACER Aspire 5920 and Samsung R730

@salvo

I use VMWare Player for testing, faster and easier, takes a few seconds to start AROS, if you created a new ISO try recreating it.

[Amiwell]

ok @amigasystem the problem is my system

[deadwood]

@AMIGASYSTEM

Booting from pendrive uses a different driver than booting from CD (what Salvo tried). Can you try booting from CDROM?

@Salvo

When booting from CD, did you have "older" AROS installed on your harddrive?

[deadwood]

@All

Please try clean installation to harddrive and see if things are working when booted from harddrive.
