Setup & Installation / Re: ArcaOS: Impossible to install!
« on: June 14, 2017, 10:27:25 pm »
Hi Remy

I have not seen the problem with geometry changing, no problems accessing volumes from either ArcaOS installer or when booted from either eCS boot volume on the disk. The only thing I have noticed is that my D: volume, fat32, always gets a chkdsk when booting eCS after the ArcaOS installation attempts.

What driver is involved? - if os2ahci.add then the only thing that will help is a rewrite/update of the driver based on the experience I have had with it. During my last - and most successful - install attempt I opted for System Management at the end of phase1 of install, opened a command window and deleted the just installed os2ahci.add replacing it with the version from eCS2.2beta2 - and remembered to edit config.sys to remove the /!R parameter.

End of os2ahci.add problems  :-)


Regards

Pete

My ahci issue ticket under ArcaOs progressed and it seems a fix will be available and may be a new ISO build for the fix test... wating for more news..

Hi Bennie

I would suggest you to give a try after issue of following commands from under virtualbox path where vboxmanage.exe is
a/ VboxManage setextradata global GUI/MaxGuestResolution any
b/ VboxManage setextradata "ArcaOS v5" "CustomVideoMode1" "1440x900x32"

I think that you should be able to see the 1440x900 into tee sreen resolution for panorama and if you already have defined enough video storage, you should be able to selet it. Are you ?

Cheers/2

Hi Daniel

I remember that we discussed that picture long time ago on IRC when everybody just wanted to be able to run Win95 on OS/2. Since I never saw any binaries of it, I consider that picture as fake.

If anybody has the binaries of this "emulator" we can finally put this urban legend to rest :)

Regards

You can make win-OS2 look windows 95 very nicely :

I did it in the past....

Hi Pete,

Can you check your disk is ok under DFSEE on both system ?
I've got a strange issue where my disk was ok under an older system but under the new one, I've geometric errors !
Correcting it makes the disk having errors on the older system !

Cheers

From what I know, it looks to be correct except microsoft is no more working on the code since a long time...

Hi,

I have a problem which could be related to the OS2AHCI as ArcaOS is looking into this way...
I have a MSI mainboard with onboard M.2 PCIe disk. As soon this M.2 disk is installed, getting the first install panel takes more than 10 minutes ! and LVM is unable to process my SATA SSD on which I would like install ArcaOS. With the M.2 removed, the install panel is available in about 1 minutes and I have to use no disk check to be able to find the SSD and after I could pass this first install part, reboot on the SSD will never proceed !

It looks like something is going wrong, LVM is not able to handle correctly the SATA disk while my system is AHCI only.

Please see open tickets at high priority.
To push forward investigation and debugging, may be it would be nice to open a ticket too. Thanks

Before any other develoment, It would be nice ArcaOS could be installed on existing desktop HW i7 CPU ( 2 tickets open ) !
Always not possible to install it yet ....   >:(

Hi Paul,

Is your drive connected on SATA using AHCI ?  ( check under the bios )

Applications / Re: ArcaOS - How to enable SMP
« on: May 18, 2017, 05:48:20 pm »
There was a bug where the W4 kernel was being installed which should have been fixed. Check your kernel with bldlevel to make sure you have the SMP kernel first. If so then check config.sys for acpi.psd, without options.
If you don't have the SMP kernel installed, you should raise an issue with Arca Noae and return here where we can walk you through installing it.
ps the SMP option might only show up doing the advanced install.

Thanks,
BLDLEVEL always show that SMP kernel is not installed, this is why I asked about how to enable/install SMP mode.

Because it didn't work, I deleted the installation disk and give a try on my new PC replacing the older one.
Under this one, unable to go forward the "detecting disk message...."
( see my comments under ArcoOS screenshots entry )

Before posting screenshots, it should well work... Up to now, I didn't find how to enable SMP mode to have at least 2 CPUs !!!
( This was very easy to enable under eCS )

Ok, well ???

Post the solution & screenshot, smh !

I guess you did not to try to install the System so far?

 >:(   Of course I installed it but as I wrote, SMP is not working making it unusable for me.
As soon SMP could be enabled, I'll post screenshots...

I guest that those having posted screenshots are unable to run SMP mode ! right ?

Oh, sorry, Remi! Misunderstanding - my answer was directed to Gregorrys writing not to yours!

And: yes, SMP runs here. I did not have to Change something or select something for this, the preboot menue started with 1 processor but after Installation all 4 are enabled. See Picture attached, please.

Ok, it works for you but I don't know why it will not for me ( disk use to try this installation deleted )
 
since last night until now, because it didn't work under the system where eCS 2.2b is? I give it a try under my newer PC based on a MSI Krait SLI main board with I7 9775c ( Bios set to use Legacy and UEFI mode instead of UEFI only - Disk set as legacy as well Cds, USB etc... ). I added a new 40Go disk ( left the PCIe M.2 256Go with win7 plugged on the mainboard and remove my 6To GPT disk to no have trouble. 

- tried to install ArcaOS : it needs 3/4 of an hour to pass the license copy message and go into installation menu.
Then, Under select disk, I have a message about getting disk information... please wait... and it hung on this message ( waited more than 2 hours without luck to go forward ), tried 3 times and always the same issue :-( 

The last try ending with power off made the bios go into reset state !  :-\
I don't know how to go forward with this installation...

If you did a sucessful install you should only need to bring up the CPU Moniter in Programs-Utilities and turn the processors you want to use on.

No good idea. ( only one CPU listed )

Install was successfull but SMP mode is not enabled !   ( only one CPU is on - SMP kernel not installed ! )
Under selective install there is no option to install SMP ( the readme tells that it should be an option but there is none ) ...
No where I could find a tool or interface to allow SMP installation and make me use all BIOS available processor available !

( I already lost a full day to find where it is and could not find it... )   >:(
