AROS ABIv0 20190416 Development

[AMIGASYSTEM]

In D5 there was a change to where font are stored that trigger the graphics mode. Now then are stored in /font/ subdirectory

/Arch/pc/grub/fonts/unicode.pf2

Yes I know I had noticed, I also upgraded my AROS One D5, I look one by one all the files of the ISO, I don't refer to the files included in the ISO, but it has the Boot loader which is needed to do the Boot to the CD/DVD, example to mean like the CD32.TM (TradeMark) which is used to create an Amiga Bootable CD for CD32.

/Arch/pc/grub/fonts/unicode.pf2

It's the same grub 2.02 that was used in previous release. The difference is that it is compiled with GCC 6.5.0 instead of GCC 6.3.0

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Sorry to insist, I attach a screenshot to be clearer, I am not referring to the Grub.

Basically I create my ISO of AROS One from scratch, then to make the ISO bootable, I extract the boot loader "on file, see screenshot" from your ISOs and put it into the burning program.

deadwood the problem with ata device persist

deadwood the problem with ata device persist

Yes, correct. This issues is not yet fixed.

[deadwood]

@AMIGASYSTEM

Ok, and what is the problem with this approach?

[AMIGASYSTEM]

If there is no change, i avoid making the various unnecessary backups

[cavemann]

@cavemann
Is it the same "crash" in ATA as with salvo?

Yes

[deadwood]

If there is no change, i avoid making the various unnecessary backups

There were a few changes between "D5" and "-1" and you should update your distribution with "-1". Now that we are in a more stable situation, next releases might only require you to update selected components.

[Amiwell]

Will Deadwood the new version of Gallium will be present on the next updates?

No, I am not referring to the ISO, with each of your ISOs, I update "Everything", I was referring to the bootloader mentioned above.

However, I have updated AROS One with "-1" and all "Contib -1" and have not experienced any problems

[deadwood]

Will Deadwood the new version of Gallium will be present on the next updates?

As far as I know update to Mesa that happened in 2019 did not restore IntelGMA and Nouveau 3D acceleration. If that is that case, this update will not be part of ABIv0 ISOs.

[Amiwell]

ok deadwood
