General Discussion / ArcaOS 5.0.1
« on: September 18, 2022, 10:57:43 am »
Started "collecting" my downloads from 5.0.4 but missed out on the start - any one willing to share this particular early iso?
Arca Noae should have made a physical big box release too ::)

Hardware / Affordable Mini PCs

Got myself two more thin clients ;D

The first is the HP T5740, an Atom N280 based machine which was very easy to get running 100% with ACPI too. The only pitfall was choosing the right USB port (one on the back) for the ArcaOS installer drive unless you wanted the 'can't find ARCAINST.ISO' error message. A nice feature is the rather loud internal speaker for system sounds.

The second is the Dell/Wyse Z90D7 sporting an AMD G-T56N processor (not hyperthreaded?). Haven't had much luck with this one as it seems to be a UEFI machine (with CSM though), very limited BIOS options and buggy ACPI - even in linux as it won't soft power off! After disabling AHCI and P-states I start the ArcaOS install but the filesystem gets corrupted in phase 2...

Attached hw info from the HP.

Storage / Sharing drive between OS/2 and linux

Small external drive formatted as JFS on ArcaOS (not with mkfs.jfs -O on linux, did not work) ends up no named in linux and cannot even be mounted manually:
Code: [Select]
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
A filesystem check shows no errors:
Code: [Select]

Hardware / GeForce AHCI
« on: January 07, 2021, 11:07:57 am »
Got myself an older Shuttle socket AM2+ barebone and no harddrive is detected even when adding the PCI ID to the AHCI driver at boot. The connected optical drive is regular ATA. Any experience with this SATA controller?
