Pci information as requested.  The pci-ryzen-aos.txt is from using the ArcaOS 5.0.4 DVD and the pci-ryzen.txt is from using pci.exe in my tools directory with a fairly new  pcidevs.txt

Hardware / ArcaOS Hardware Support Discussion
« on: July 30, 2019, 10:49:55 am »
Hi Doug,

The AMD Ryzen processors have a USB 3 built in then there is the northbridge that has USB 2 and USB 3 and USB 3.1, numbers depending on the northbridge version.  The AM4 motherboards may also have an ASMedia USB 3 and USB 3.1 as well.  There are a couple oother chip manufacturers that supply USB 3 chipsets for add in cards eg. Renesas - I have the source code for their Linux drivers.

If you would like me to test the USB 3 driver just e-mail it and I can easily try it on 5 different AM4 motherboards.

Thanks Doug,

I didn't have the -Xms32m in the 'parameters' of the program object, adding that appears to have fixed the problem.  Now transferring a little under 2GB to my Linux machine - going well past the point it crashed before.

However on *some* Intel chipsets the USBX.SYS host controller driver does not work yet

The big question is, does that mean it works on all AMD chipsets or have they been forgotten? - enquiring minds would like to know the answer to that question.

Hi Doug,

I'm using jFTP v5 and there is nothing in POPUPLOG.OS2 - it worked without problems before the update.  Since you mention security updates for Samba I assume they carry over to other network programs than can use them so I will start looking there. 

Is there a list of these security updates anywhere and what one has to do to reset them for SMB client?

If the order was changed for USB3 and we don't have USB3 yet why change things when it can cause problems?

Hi Doug,

I pulled up your 'fix' for libcx from an earlier thread and applied it via config.sys - now I have almost all of my programs working, one needs a little more work, it starts but then just closes.

Are there any more  'fixes' for the nixi DLLs I should know about?

The FTP problem is one that is very annoying - transferring data in bulk, several files selected for transfer, it just locks up hard, power off reset needed.

The other network problem with the NAS boxes is one that keeps on telling me that I don't have access for that network resource - no problems with networking before the update.

Ryzen 3 2200G.

Update went reasonably well - an inordinate number of reboots, but...

As we are advised there are changes in the desktop.  The biggest being that everything is moved and not where I expect them to be.  The next problem is that many of my normal programs no longer run - I suspect there are some DLLs that have been changed and are no longer backwards compatible, or hopefully need switches to make them work.

Without USB3, there is no way I can test an install on modern hardware and with the breaking of normal programs I will not be recommending this to my old clients.

Networking partly works, I can get out to the internet but am cut off from my NAS storage boxes although FTP does work intermittently.

So far I have not tried to do a new install, that will be the next thing to try.

Much too expensive unless the case is gold plated.

I just gave away a couple of my older machines (AMD processors) of about the same vintage a week ago.

Let me know what you are looking for as I still have several motherboards, video cards as well as network cards (all motherboards have AMS processors).  All of these ran either warp 3 connect or warp 4.

I also have several IDE hard disks that may,or may not, have warp 4 on them.

Applications / Re: Generating an image of an HPFS HDD.

There is also Partimage http://www.partimage.org/Supported-Filesystems/ that actually supports the HPFS file system.

I have used it when I upgraded some of my systems.

ZorinOS because I use it for teaching transition from Windows to Linux.  For some reason most people don't see it as 'threatening' or 'difficult' as other Linux versions.

I also have Linux Mint on a small form factor unit (ITX) that is the termination of my met station which feeds daily data to a couple of NAS boxes to allow for monthly data analysis using Mesa on OS/2.

Again, thank you for your help.

Thank you Valery and Doug for trying to help but after more reboots and chkdsk in the last two days than the preceding nine months I have decided to go the hardware route and have ordered the necessary KVM and PS/2 to USB adapters to make it work.

Yes, I did get vBox to limp along on OS/2/ArcaOS but the fact that I couldn't get it to install the latest Linux ZorinOS because it appears that vBox doesn't like 64bit OSs running on OS/2.

Apart from very frequent vBox crashes causing hard reset and chkdsk (3TB takes a loooong time), I was experiencing problems with several of the programs I run as standard.

Having now removed vBox and its driver from my main computer all appears to be back to what it was before I started the exercise and hopefully tomorrow (when Amazon delivers) I will be able to call up Zorin at the press of a button (it gives me firefox 60.8.0esr and direct access to my met station) all I have to do is work out how to share files between the two.

Hi Valery,

I'm still trying to get vBox working on OS/2 on my Ryzen based computer.  I downloaded the vbox-os2-v5.0.51 and followed the instructions for installing but all I get when I try to run it is an error (see attachment).

I therefore have some questions.
1) does the vboxdrv.sys give any indication when it loads?  I see nothing when config.sys lists drivers, top and other process viewers don't show it either.
2) do you think I am missing something obvious?  If so what should I be looking for?

Any suggestions or other ideas.

As a check, have you tried using a live Linux DVD with firefox from there (most Linux live DVDs are using firefox 60 or later).  This will check if the new twitter requires a firefox version later than the one we have.

Assuming you have a good backup of that partition then the safest way to proceed is format the partition and restore the data.

I had that happen to me once and the 'format/restore' was the only way out.  Depending on how old the disk is and what it's highest temperature has been you might need to run the manufacturers linux based disk tools to check if there are low level problems, bad sectors, no reserve sectors left to use, etc.
