Greetings,

I am almost there with my setup.. I have noticed this error on boot, it doesnt stop the boot and everything appears normal just wondering what it is and if I should fix it?

F320101: ERROR: F32 VERSION (5.0.5.R234) DIFFERS FROM CACHEF32 VERSION (5.0.4.R2... I didnt get the rest of it but you get the gist.

Regards,

Rick

That would be produced by the FAT32 IFS and shouldn't happen on an install, and perhaps you should open an issue as it is likely a problem at Arca Noae.
Once the install is finished, try upgrading the FAT32 driver, first with the one on the ISO to see if the error is repeated.
I think there is a newer one available at your subscription page, I have

I did the update from downloads page which is what started the error, It looks like the cachef32 driver didn’t update along with it ?

That did it... I figured out what happened.  When that update installs in modifies config.sys however after I did the restore on this machine I restored my saved config.sys which did not include the change.

Duh!

Greetings,

Do any of you know what MSGAPI32 is?  After restoring my software post 5.1 upgrade, throws a msgapi32 error and I cannot seem to get around it?  I have reinstalled the software and just used backed up data.

Regards,

Rick

Hi Rick

Possibly something related to early os/2 messaging software, see http://annex.retroarchive.org/cdrom/smsw-modmad-2/MAXIMUS/index.html and scroll down to sqpck141.zip which contains the dll file of that name.

Whether it is related...


Regards

Pete

Hello

I also found this file with MSGAPI32.DLL - http://annex.retroarchive.org/cdrom/cotc-4/OS2/SQDEV200.ZIP
"Squish/Maximus Message Api, in Addition to A Specification for the Squish File Format and Information on Designing Feature .Dlls For"

Rick, do you run some BBS software?

Hello Remy

Here in my Thinkpad T14s worked fine too. It has UEFI enabled and even make it easy now to dual boot with Windows 11.

Remy, do you want to give it a try with us? Post your laptop/computer model in a new thread and let's see if we can help you.

Do you want to upgrade your existing 5.0.x? or a fresh install?

Just in case the manual says "In addition, it is not possible to upgrade from a traditional BIOS installation to a UEFI installation."

In that case you will need to backup everything and make a fresh install.

I already posted my desktop config in the past.

It is a desktop and upgrading my ArcaOS.
AOS installed on multivolume C: W:  (JFS)
E: used as recovery partition   (JFS)
all partitions where chkdsk and free of error.
(2 more logicals partitions, one NTFS shr with windows in RO mode and one FAT32 shr with windows in R/W)
Have to add disk exclude under AHCI to exclude M.2 onboard disk with win7 (this works well and in place since a long time)

I'm upgrading my ArcaOS operating system.
Start on DVD allowing config.sys update to exclude my M.2 onboard disk

The upgrade function is stopping with ERROR message after reboot following first step (well done)
I use legacy (traditional) bios for my boot drive, usb and cd (upgrading in legacy mode despite both mode exist)

The upgrade function worked well under 5.0.x
Strange.

Found a few error into logs:
Copying file: Z:\var\log\diskutil.log --> C:\var\log\DISKUTIL.LOG: FAILED (error SYS0003: The system cannot find the path specified.)
Copying file: Z:\var\log\ao_upgd.log --> C:\var\log\ao_upgd.log: FAILED (error SYS0003: The system cannot find the path specified.)
and
Copying file: Z:\DATBAS_Z.INI --> C:\sys\install\WARPIN\DATBAS_C.INI: FAILED (error SYS0003: The system cannot find the path specified.)

You should't believe everything you read. Months ago, I posted a package to convert from BIOS to UEFI. The process is trivial and fully license-compliant. If you need it, do a search of this forum.

No UEFI conversion here.
UEFI not enabled for USB, nor CD and nor for ArcaOS HD
Just a migration/update like I did it under previous releases
