ArcaOS 5.0.x OVA for VirtualBox

<< < (2/2)

Neil Waldhauer:
I tried this again with VirtualBox 7.0.8. I added my .ISO of ArcaOS 5.0.7 and it booted up to the point where it needs to find the .ISO, but it can't.

Alex Taylor:
Did you boot using USB or did you mount the ISO directly?  Glancing at the OVA config, I don't see any IDE (PIIX4) device configured, only AHCI. ISTR you need the DANI drivers loaded to boot from CD/DVD, and those require IDE/ATAPI hardware.

Martin Iturbide:
Hi Neil

I had tried the OVA today with ArcaOS 5.0.8 and it installs with a SATA - AHCI (emulated) CD-ROM.

Try mounting the ISO CD-ROM from the CD icon at the bottom of the VM (Picture Attached), and reboot the VM. The installation process boot file from there, it does not need to be an emulated IDE CDROM, with SATA runs fine.

I think the guest OVA archive that is imported would be initially set with the settings for network and sound card from the host that created the OVA.  You should be able to change the setting on the new host to match.  This is what I saw when I created an OVA from a Windows machine and imported it to a Mac.  The VM did boot up after I changed the configuration settings for network and sound card.

Welcome David.

I think you are right, but I don't have a Mac or Linux to try it out. I guess that taking the OVA from Windows to Windows, you will not need to change anything. But on Mac or Linux the network and sound configuration  may need to be changed. Sorry I don't have those platforms at hand to give it try.

PD: David, I took the liberty to modify your profile name to don't show your full email address on the post. I guess it will not impact your side when using the forum.
