I thought about buying a second M2 SSD and put it into this machine. As far as I read this should work and I've planned to do that anyway. But quick search turned out the prices are now nearly double at they where a month ago. So have to wait until they drop down again.

Btw. I have a desktop system with two NVMes inside. Running here as my main machine. Didn't have a problem with them when trying ArcaOS installations.

Hello Andi B.

I have nvme experience here with two machines. Both had the GPT partitions made by Win10 and it got recognized.

I haven't seen any reports on the:
 Vendor 1C5Ch SK hynix
 Device 174Ah Gold P31/BC711/PC711 NVMe Solid State Drive

Maybe, if you have an alternative nvme HDD, you can try to replace it and see if ArcaOS recognize, but I know it is kind of a nag and maybe it is not the problem. 

I think you had made enough testing to open a ticket on the Arca Noae ticket system. I don't know if someone else have another idea of what else to test.

Regards

It's easy enough to find various versions of Visual Age on some of the abandoned ware sites. It's where I originally picked up a version of 3.08. I did get donated a legal copy afterwards and it was identical.

450 USD for Visual Age C++ 3.0?
That quite a fantasy price. :D

should be more like this.... Not version 3.0 but version 4.0 for AIX and x86 for 200 USD. https://www.ebay.de/itm/167930366486

But all this is wayy to expensive. I got my copy for 40 USD five years ago. Considering nobody would ever make money with this anymore. So why would it be an expensive software still? This is nothing more but a relic of the past. If you'd like to actually develop for OS/2 or Windows NT, you could use OpenWatcom, which is free of charge.

Anyway.. I'd advise to wait until this software is available again for a decent price. This is not for production anymore, but rather a museum pice.

Hi
I've two sticks. One ArcaOS5.1 the other one ArcaOS5.1DE. ArcaOS5.1DE boots into the installer. But does not find a disk and so no partitions. Now try to shrink the Linux partition from Linux boot stick and see if I get further.
Do you think it may be that the nvme driver is not loaded? I'm guessing that this machine has a NVME HDD. Can you check on the ArcaOS USB boot to change the values and check if nvme.add is enabled?

Regards
Now I started the installer with own values instead default and checked config.sys. NVME driver is there and GPT also. But NVME disk is not recognized. Maybe cause it was partitioned with Win originally? I installed Debian/Linux afterwards. But ArcaOS don't even see this disk (Mini-LVM).

I attach the testlog in case anyone is interested.

Hi

First problem was 'Secure boot'. Found it in BIOS and switched it off. Thanks Martin.

Now it boots until the ArcaOS logo...
That's some progress.

Can you disable Hyperthreading to see if you have any difference?
Also, when the OS/2 square shows up can you press "Alt+F2" to see if it list you on which driver is getting stuck?

Hello Richard.

Can you please try it again? I was updating the wiki script this afternoon.  I see that it works, can you confirm it on your side?
