Setup & Installation / Re: No mouse/keyboard after BIOS update
« on: November 12, 2024, 01:02:40 am »
Hi Martin,

At the point I disabled "XHCI Hand-off" I did not have the "above 4G decoding" in mind, so after a reboot only mouse buttons 1 and 2 were working
and the system also seemed a bit "unstable".
Because of this I checked BIOS again and noticed that "above 4G decoding" was enabled, then I disabled it and now mouse are keyboard are fine.
I believe that updating BIOS somehow enabled "above 4G decoding".

Don't really know if "XHCI Hand-off" should be enabled or not, the system works with it enabled and with "above 4G decoding" disabled.
Nice if someone who knows could clarify.

(Tried the link to the BIOS simulator but it won't work with my Firefox installation, anyway I've used it before from a Win10.)

And, yes, I remember reporting this hardware a few years back.

Well, I'd forgotten the "above 4G decoding" in BIOS, now disabled and mouse wheel also works.

Found the setting "XHCI Hand-off" in BIOS, set it to Disabled, rebooted and keyboard seems to work ok.
Mouse also works except for the wheel, nothing happens when scrolling.

Appreciate comments.

Setup & Installation / No mouse/keyboard after BIOS update

Hi,

I've successfully updated BIOS on my Thinkstation P520 but now the USB mouse and USB keyboard are not working in AOS 5.0.4 nor in AOS 5.1.
(All works in Win10)
The new BIOS, S03KT67A, is quite different from the old one so I'm not sure if there is a setting somewhere that needs to be changed.
(I've never run this system in UEFI and it looks like all CSM settings from old BIOS are intact.)

Thanks to all for info, I haven't decided what "route" to take yet but will report when done.
The MBR-to-GPT converter developed by Rich would be a great tool to have, and I would not expect it to be freeware.
Hope that AN can imagine a use for it now. (USD 2500 is a bit too much for my budget, although I'd happily pay a reasonable fee for a user license.)

Interesting. Could the MBR-to-GPT converter be used on a win10-disk/NTFS  as well?
(I have so far not assigned any drive letter/LVM info for that disk.)

I have Win10 but since it's been run with CSM it has not created any ESP partition. AFAIK updating Win10 to Win11 requires UEFI so I assume that the updating process will create the ESP partition, (the Win10-disk has enough free space).
Before updating to Win11 I think I will disconnect the AOS-disk and only have the win-disk and another empty disk in the system.
If the win updating goes well I'll install latest AOS to the empty disk.

Finally I plan to re-connect the older AOS disk and wonder if there is something I have to do manually or will it be seen automatically and added to whatever boot manager AOS 5.1 sets up?

The graphics card is a Radeon RX 7800 XT and I have no idea about the size of the frame buffer or where it is put.
 
I have checked https://www.arcanoae.com/wiki/ and the info is good for a new installation however I initially had a hope of "converting" an existing AOS installation to UEFI. Couldn't find any info for that scenario so I'll go for a new 5.1 installation.

Agree with the "if isn't broken etc." but I have to replace the graphics card and the new one I got needs UEFI.

I have a system with AOS 5.0.4 and Win10 installed on separate disks, (using AirBoot, CSM).
Does anyone have a "step by step" for how to switch from CSM to UEFI ?

Thanks to Dave Yeo, who built version 4.01, the new pdftotext now works from VX-Rexx as well.

Thanks a lot, Dave.

I've only tried pdftotext so far. This version also seems to work fine from VX-Rexx.

Noticed this post;

https://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php?topic=2162.0

Does anymone know if the v. 4.05 cmdline tools for OS/2 are available anywhere?

Now I've also tested running the command below from DBExpert;

address cmd "start /C /min P:\test\pdftotext.exe source.PDF input.txt"

At one point it actually worked and produced a nice input.txt, actually the best so far since it
handled the special character 'ΓΈ' correctly.
Funny thing is that it worked only one time.
Have tried lots of times and don't even get any error messages.

When running a cmd-file with only the line below it works ok.
address cmd "start /C /min P:\test\pdftotext.exe source.PDF input.txt"

I've tested a few other programs from VX-Rexx using "address cmd" and they work.

pdftotext.exe is in the same directory as the VX-Rexx project and the cmd-file.

I've also copied the cmd-file and pdftotext.exe other directiories and it still works so I assume it
does not depend on any other dll.

Thanks, but I can't get any of the suggestions to work.

ADDRESS CMD "P:\test\pdftotext.exe source.PDF input.txt"
Results in "private_alloc failed, error code = 0x00000137

'@start cmd /c start "pdftotext" /b/k '||your_program
Results in "invalid expression"

In another project this is working fine:
address cmd.exe "start /C /min d:\gs\GS9.15\BIN\gsos2
