ok, I am using Windows host. It also looked OK at the beginning. Until it blew my ArcaOS installation. Watch out.

Have you updated the config.sys of the image to load OS2AHCI.ADD instead of (or in addition to) the DANIS506.ADD ?
Obviously, you will need to start Virtualbox having the OS/2 guest use IDE, update config.sys and then switch over VirtualBox to AHCI.
Yes - definitely os2ahci.add is in config.sys (in addition to danis506.add). I've even tried solely using os2ahci.add.
I might have to do a fresh install, but it would be nice not to have to try work out which rpm packages to reinstall....
Maybe, AN is now putting the emphasis on business customers, then they do not have the need for a working browser.As a "business user" I can confirm that we definitely need a working browser.
The browser problem is the one thing, I fear, that has the real "stones" to hurt us badly. Superb efforts are ongoing to extend our viability, but I still struggle with why this hasn't become a prioritized deliverable for our platform - and by that I mean the apparent lack of official backing by the only commercial player in our space, that being AN.
OK, thanks Dave and Lars... I was afraid it might be the NVMe drive. If ArcaOS 5.1 is ever actually released I was planning on running exclusively on NVMe, so guess I should try to set up with a RAM drive.
Do either of you know if this is something that could be added to the NVMe driver, or is it a kernel limitation? I could raise an issue at the Arca bug tracker...

As an additional check just in case something went wrong: the OS2DUMP module in the root dir should have size 10525 bytes. That's the specialized OS2DUMP that it needs for DUMPFS.IFS to work.
I also checked the ability of my system to create a dump (Os4Krnl, OS4Dump)
Dumping is ok but I cannot delete dump file - fc/2 said:Code: [Select]╔════════════════════════════════════╗
║ Disk write protected, cannot write ║
║ Q:\DUMPDATA.001 ║
║ [ Retry ] [ Skip ] [ Cancel ] ║
╚════════════════════════════════════╝
but it seems to me that the deletion worked on earlier versions of dumpfs.ifs
