@deadwood It is managed by ata.device. The BIOS boot order even lists it as a IDE device. There is no option for SATA mode, in BIOS. After seeing that, I opened the device; making sure there wasn't a lapse in my memory. It is actually SATA.

@ deadwood My Acer One Z5 has an SSD but it is broken the system does not detect the SSD, it works fine from Pendrive or external USB HD

Thanks. Is it handled by ata.device or ahci.device? You can check this in Info window of partition in Wanderer.

@deadwood SATA

@d0wz, @AMIGASYSTEM, @Amiwell79 I have a question with regards to ZG5 you own. Do you have in it a SATA HDD or IDE SSD? There seems to be two models on the market.

@deadwood No. The USB device is detected, and associated with the mass storage driver (pop-up notification). But the drive never mounts (No drive Icon on the screen [Tested with Fat32 and Aros formated drives]). This is the machine(s) with the USB hand-off issue. Potentially, there is a USB disk geometry issue (can't remember, I have a hand full of machines like that). I don't actually know if either issue is the culprit.

I'll see if I can buy one now because it costs about 30/40 shipped.

I had an acer aspire 5630 pity about the battery otherwise it works fine and is 64-bit even Processor 32-64 bit Graphics Nvidia 128 Mb Geforce 7300 GO Unfortunately no ADoom 3 Wifi Atheros Compatible Audio HD-AUDIO Connectors USB 2.0-Parallel-Serial-External VGA Battery New 1:30 Hours

Do any of you have an AMD motherboard with AM4 socket or an Intel motherboard with a chipset higher than 6th generation that boots AROS from USB?

The Aspire One's are nice compact machines, but they are 32-bit unfortunately. They will become obsolete once we migrate to 64-bit AROS. :(

@d0wz Is the problem with USB only during boot? I mean when you install AROS RC1 using the workaround and then restore pciusb.device to RC1 version, does USB work in AROS booted from HDD?

the pecuriality of the acer aspire A110 is that in addition to having a larger HD it can accommodate a very long battery life the same goes for the base model ZG5 and I think D150, having a laptop with a long battery life is not to be underestimated

Panasonic Toughbook CF-18 Boot = Harddisk (USB boot issue) : Works (NOACPI parameter) Video = Intel Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller : Works (Native) Audio = Intel 82801 FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller : Works Ethernet = Realtek RTL-8100/8181L/8139 PCI Fast Ethernet : Works Wireless = Intel Pro 2915ABG [Calexico 2] Network Connection : No Driver IDE = Works Power Off = Tap Power Switch Note: Laptop has no Cd-rom. There is a USB boot issue. I had to install Aros to the harddisk, from on another machine. Both CF-18 and 29 boot from USB, with 2018 Aros. USB boot work around = copy/replace /Devs/USBHardware/pciusb.device, from Icaros Desktop to Aros-20211128-RC1.

I did a search the acer aspire one d150 also has a compatible graphics processor Gl

Hi ppl, I have 2x acer aspire one D150 Sound,WiFi works out of the box 1x acer aspire one D255, sound,graphics WiFi works out of the box. 1.with icaros 2.aros one 3.aros68k Since nikos's aspireOS I stayed with acer , all works well. D255 used to fail to boot but boots ok now...

@amigamia, @Jeff1138 Thanks for replying and no worries - there is no rush. Once you tested the hardware, then we can decided whether to add it to recommended or not About 'noacpi' - AROS kernel has been updated in recent years by Kalamatee to support more recent hardware. This sometimes makes older hardware fail. If I have the hardware, I will debug and resolve that at some point. @Amiwell79 Thanks, I updated my notes.

Hi, Sorry, still setting up a machine with virtualbox as my previous laptop had everything setup before it failed.

@deadwood [quote]4) @amigamia, @Jeff1138 - my list shows that you both have Dell Wyse 7010. Have you been able to test the latest versions (D07, RC1) on this machine?[/quote] Hi deadwood, I have had very little time to play these past few weeks. I should have some time this coming week end. I did try it a while ago and I could not get it to boot at all but I wasn't using the 'noacpi' setting in the grub entry. Looks like even on theLatitude D520 I need to use this option now. Wasn't the case with older versions of AROS. Just letting you know.

deadwood I bought an acer aspire one A110 this has a larger hd and is replaceable with an ssd than the normal ZG5
