I have tested this version of your AHCI-driver and found no problems.

Here is another version for tests: [url]https://axrt.org/development/ahci.device-0.9b.i386-aros.zip[/url] *) recognizes hard disks bigger than 8GB *) improved boot times by more than 50% *) uses 60 MB of RAM less Unless problems are found, this will be the "final" version for this IBOTM

I don't spend the money to buy 3,500 euros of hardware for OS4 but on software development for myself and the community, aros keeps me very active

still can't understand why some hollywood plugins are not available for our platform I have projects in mind but can't go ahead due to the lack of them, today a magnificent plugin was released

thanks to the collaboration with Alfred Faust and Franck Charlet, the best if well-used midi sequencer born on the amiga classic is available thanks developer

Ok, good. That's a relief :D I should be able to provide one more version of the driver with possibly shortened start up time.

Yes, with 20220318, old and new driver are working as expected.

Ok, so let me understand correctly: When you use 20220318-1 release, the old ahci driver partitions and installs AROS, but partition is limited to 8GB (as expected). When you use 20220318-1 release, the new ahci driver partitions and installs AROS, and partition is not limited to 8GB. Is this correct understanding?

Both tests failed with old driver. During testing, I was using Aros One 2.4, which seems to be a specific issue of the distro. When I switched to Aros 32-bit version 20220318, the driver was running on the device. I am very sorry for this great missalert.

It's quite weird that old driver fails on newly partitioned drive :/ Can you do two tests: 1) repartition (Wipe option) the disk using ata.device and check if old ahci.device allows installing correctly 2) repartition the disk using ahci.device and check if installing 3-4 times work every time If in both cases installing using old ahci.device works, I will prepare for you a few versions of new ahci.device to try to pin point where is the problem. Can you also share vendor id and product id of your AHCI chipset?

Hi all, Thank you ppl, Just a quick update, AHI implemented , updeted version on Aros-Archives Uploads... Simple_PlayMusic added to examples (mp3/flac/wav) tested and plays fine.. usage Simple_PlayMusic test.mp3 or other formats...

maybe there is hope of bringing some other software:)

1.) Yes, the driver return the error pretty early. It starting something after fourth folder has been copied. 2.) "AHCI=slowstart" not fixing the error.

Alexander 'Selco' is still working on WCS will add improvements but the work will take a long time in the meantime we can use the current version which is new for us

Thanks for explanation. Additional question: What do you mean by "for first bits"? Does it mean that when you partition with new driver, reboot to old driver, start InstallAROS then it starts writing some files but process still crashes at some point and does not finish? Please test the new driver with AHCI=slowstart grub kernel parameter. Does it solve the "-6" problem?

1.) Yes, I getting issues when rebooting after partition has been created by installer. 2.) It happening every time I trying to installing on the harddisk. 3.) On the recommended hardware I have not tested yet (related to missing equipment), but well working device, where AHCI has worked before with old driver. 4.) Missed to add aditional informations. The correction is: "... harddisk with old AHCI-driver running on the partition, which has been made with the new AHCI-driver, working fine for first bits ..."

So if I understand correctly, with new ahci.device (version 0.9) you were able to partition the disk to have more than 8GB partition, but then when installing after reboot, you got the error? Does it happen every time you try to install? Is this happening on one of the recommended hardware? Does you added comment mean that on this hardware also installing using old ahci.device gives errors?

I was trying to installing AROS on native AHCI-device and got returned an access-error with code "-6". Same issue when manually copying folders or files into AHCI-device. The creation of an partition on AHCI was successful. Also the capacity of the harddisk was read correctly. Accessing the harddisk with old AHCI-driver working fine for first bits until some seconds after installing process started.

Thank you for your efforts to improve AROS.
