Re: Trouble with installing on very well supported hardware
GCC works fine on AROS One v2.4, see screenshot ! Question: Did you change anything on the Shell Icon? On InstallAROS did you check "Install Debuggin Tools ans Dveleoper Software" Does the SYS:Development folder include 795 MB of data? If this data is not there just copy manually from the iso the data into this folder

Re: Trouble with installing on very well supported hardware
Question @Amigasystem: Is the GCC not included in the development? I don't see it. I even tried to run my install again from the USB drive and made sure I selected tthe option to install Development. gcc -v returns : gcc: object not found

Re: Trouble with installing on very well supported hardware
After much tribulations, I was able to install AROS One 2.4 by using the ISO and the method described above at AROS news. The VHD just refused to boot, despite the many times I re-downloaded it. Writing this reply from my Dell Latitude D520 with working accelerated Intel GMA graphics, working AHI, and working WiFi via an atheros 5000 chip. This is a really nice laptop for AROS.

Re: Trouble with installing on very well supported hardware
In some cases it could also be a fragmented hardisk problem, it happens that sudden shutdowns of the (Fixed) PC corrupt the filesystem causing strange errors on the files. A good method to keep the filesystem efficient at all times is to perform a SkanDisk on all volumes after the PC shuts down acause of power failure. This procedure will prevent some corrupted files from being deleted.

Re: Trouble with installing on very well supported hardware
[quote name=amigamia post=4556]@amigamia I have been trying to install AROS One 2.4 via ISO using the same method as above but 3 hours later I am still trying. It's one error or another. Got tired of tracking them. One time was the USB and another AROS One just becomes unresponsive while in VirtualBox, a crash here and a crash there. [/quote] That sounds pretty similar to what I experienced with AROS One 2.3 ISO in VirtualBox. Random crashes during installation process. I asked another person to re-test and he didn't have these problems. I think this shows there is something wrong with download process - seems that sometimes archives come damaged even though they uncompress (or they become damaged after uncompressing). It does not seem too frequent - else there would be more people reporting these problems.

Re: Trouble with installing on very well supported hardware
Well, I have no issues with AROS-pc-i386-boot-iso version 20220318-1 downloaded from https://axrt.org/downloads-aros and using this method: https://arosnews.github.io/how-to-prepare-usb-flash-drive-aros/ I have been trying to install AROS One 2.4 via ISO using the same method as above but 3 hours later I am still trying. It's one error or another. Got tired of tracking them. One time was the USB and another AROS One just becomes unresponsive while in VirtualBox, a crash here and a crash there. I think I may have finally managed to make a new USB with AROS One 2.4 using the method in question and NOT the VHD/Rufus process. We shall see!

Re: Trouble with installing on very well supported hardware
[quote name=deadwood post=4551]@deadwood - @amigamia Two quick questions: 1) Did previous versions work correctly?[/quote] Yes, I currently have AROS One 2.2 installed. I had no issues booting with that version. With that version, I just have to add "noacpi" in the grub boot string otherwise it goes into a back screen and never boots. [quote]2) Did you try clean system 20220318 release installed to USB via VirtualBox InstallAROS process?[/quote] I haven't yet. That was my next try in the coming days as time permits. Will let you know.

Re: Trouble with installing on very well supported hardware
[quote name=AMIGASYSTEM post=4549]@AMIGASYSTEM - What version did you use of Rufus ? , I don't remember from whom, it was reported to me that the recent version of Rufus doesn't work well with AROS USB images[/quote] That was me in another thread. The problematic version was Rufus 4. I am using 3.20.1929 which has always worked. The problem with Rufus 4 was during the burning of the VHD image. I don't have that same problem. It burns the VHD image just fine. I guess I could try 4 this time but the error is not clear to me.

Re: Trouble with installing on very well supported hardware
Running into a strange issue with a known fully supported laptop (Dell Latitude D520) and AROS One 2.4 which was downloaded as USB image. Rufus was used to burn the VHD file. Booting regularly with no changes just hangs to a black screen. Adding the noacpi switch to the grub boot lines, does start the boot process but the attached error shows shortly after.

Re: Monitor resolutions and refresh rate
[quote name=AMIGASYSTEM post=4527]@AMIGASYSTEM - Hi BorniPI, I didn't quite understand the problems with the update frequencies created by AROSone, What Build did you download, can you provide the link ?, if you downloaded the new TynyAROS, it is the deadwood reference Buid, practically the same Core is included on AROS One, consequently there should be no compatibility differences. Also from the AROS One Gub, via BootMenu you can access the "Earl Startup Control" where as on Amiga you will have available a Shel or Dopus4 and then edit the grub.cfg very easily. [youtube]rGWiR6EL-qw[/youtube][/quote] Nope, that was an one way, after i pressed enter in "Early Startup Control", i had the message from my LCD screen that frequency isn't supported. But thank you for the tip.

Re: Monitor resolutions and refresh rate
Hi, With older graphics cards you usually need to self edit, try e to edit at the grub screen and change settings to see what works and later use editor in AROS you can edit grub.cfg to have it there as a permanent choice when booting up [code]https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aros/User/Docs#Advice_for_various_machines[/code]

Re: Monitor resolutions and refresh rate
[quote name=amigamia post=4522]@amigamia - Hello BorniPI, Welcome to AROSWorld! You should be able to select different resolution on the grub menu, right before AROS Starts loading up. I think the lowest resolution of 800x600 should be listed. You can, however, also edit the boot strings to whichever resolution you need. I am not sure if changing the freq. is possible but you can try.[/quote] Thank you. I installed TinyAros, because AROSone made trouble with refresh rate frequencies. The only solution was installing Tiny AROS in VGA mode with 4bpp and then i made that step i used Boot in Prefs. Currently i am using 1600x900 60Hz. I have another Acer monitor that is 4:3 i would prefer to use. I'll try tomorrow. Unfortunately the computer i wanted to use, died. Currently i am using a Futro S300 and i am so surprised that AROS runs faster than the Linux that was installed previously.

Re: Monitor resolutions and refresh rate
Is there any possibility to set that parameters before ínstalling? I have some older Acer monitors here and both have problems with unsupported frequencies.
