I have been trying to install ArcaOS 5.0 and ran into issues with it detecting the following:
- Detected Sound driver (UNIAUD) did not work.
- Did not detect Intel Built in Network card (eCS 2.1/2.2 did detect)
- Plugged in network card that does work in eCS 2.2 and prior versions did not work.
Next I tried to install in Virtual Box and after a few tries I got sound and network working:
VirtualBox (Windows) 5.0.30 is what I have. (I will try this on VBox for OS2 later).
General
- Operating system - Other OS/2
System
- Base Memory 2000 MB
Acceleration VT-x/AMD, Nested Paging
Audio
- Host Driver Windows DirectSound
- Controller ICH AC97 (This is what ArcaOS Needs)
Network
- Attached To: Bridged Adapter
- Name: Realteck PCIe GBE Family Controller
- Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (8254OEM) - (This is what ArcaOS needs)
-
The OS/2 port of VirtualBox does not support Acceleration VT-x/AMD, which is required to install OS/2
-
ArcaOS does install on Virtual PC 5.1 by Connectix.
Networking does work but UNIAUD did not work and the installer installs UNIAUD even if Sound Blaster is selected.
