that's actually a kernel panic ... I let kalamatee know about it yesterday. but you can always add sysdebug=all and you'll see the kernel output.

Or maybe it would be just better to use ArosONE (which does support BIOS) and remove what I don't want on it (like amistart)[/quote]
As recommended by terminills, try adding noacpi to grub.cfg.

Regarding AROS One, Amistart can be replaced by BoingIconbar. Just go to SYS:System and click on Install-BoingIconbar. After clicking, AROS One will restart with BoingIconbar installed.

Before installing BoingIconbar, you must edit the ‘Iconbar.prefs’ file located in ‘Env-Archive’. Unfortunately, I forgot to delete an entry that affects SMB2, which is not present in the ISO.
If you do not edit ‘Iconbar.prefs’, you will not see BoingIconbar in the bar.

If, on the other hand, you do not want Amistrat and do not want to install BoingIconbar, edit User-Startup and delete the line concerning the start-up of Amistart.

Question: What did you burn onto the USB stick with Rufus, an ISO or a USB image?

Are you burning a Night or Arosone?

Which version of Rufus are you using?

[quote post=10352]@Build-0-Matic - I've been playing with it (ABIv0) and discovered that they dropped BIOS boot support.
I'm now wondering what would be the best way to put it on my venerable netbook...

Actually ABIv0 ONLY support BIOS-enabled machines right now, not UEFI. Could you let us know what ISO exactly are you trying to boot (please provide the link) and whether you are trying to boot from CD or from USB-stick. When using USB-stick you need to follow this process to prepare the USB-stick (AROS ISOs are not writable to USB-stick like Linux ISOs are):

Note: this tutorial speaks about 64-bit version of AROS but the same applies to 32-bit version.

[quote name=Build-0-Matic post=10336]@Build-0-Matic - Here is where I got it
http://www.aros.o...htly1.html

pc-i386-boot-iso

The native version for i386-based PC AT computers and compatibles. This is the bootable CD-ROM ISO image, which contains all core AROS system files.

And this is the link to the direct file

Since it's a nightly build, the date will be different.[/quote]

I just tested todays nightly and the boot problem is fixed.

Sorry for taking so long to reply.
I'm using the nightly ISO for ABIv1
As for the snapshot of ABIv0, it only works on UEFI. To me that is a strange decision since pretty much all 32 bit machines are BIOS only.

As for Aros One, it works just fine out of the box.

Here is the link to the one I have that will not boot. But I am using Rufus which is wrong I just discovered
https://sourcefor...p/download

I find it odd that Rufus works with ArosOne but not this one.

AROSOne has made a special USB-image that works with Rufus. That's something that the standard nightly build or release ISO's don't have.

OK, so that explains it!

Thanks.

I'm going to soldier on with the Virtualbox solution.

Fantastic news Deadwood!
I have the ABIv1 version running flawlessly on my Acer Aspire One ZG5 (1.5gb ram, 160gb mechanical IDE drive).
I have no issues with the mouse. Now to download some demos and apps to load it up and test the sound.

(BTW, this thing boots FAST! I've never seen this netbook so speedy)

Glad you made it working

Me too
I'm now going to sorta get the Amiga I wanted back in the day.

As recommended by terminills, try adding noacpi to grub.cfg.

Regarding AROS One, Amistart can be replaced by BoingIconbar. Just go to SYS:System and click on Install-BoingIconbar. After clicking, AROS One will restart with BoingIconbar installed.

Funny because when I installed Aros One, for some reason I have no Amistart and no Boingbar running at startup!
Not that I miss them any as they just clutter-up that small screen.
I went looking just for fun and I couldn't find the user-startup file (or folder) anywhere

The user-startup, as on AmigaOS, is located in the S folder.

When starting up, AROS One installs Amistart by default, but you can change this and install BoingIconBar. To install BoingIconBar, go to the System/BoingIconBar folder and run Install-BoingIconBar from its icon.

In practice, Install-BoingIconBar and Install-AmiStart are simple scripts that replace the user-startup.

To disable BoingIconBar or AmiStart, you can also do so manually by modifying the user startup.

N.B. = on AROS One v2.8, Install-AmiStart is no longer present due to a copying error on my part.

Try AROS One and you will discover many advantages, as well as its great similarity to Amiga OS.

AROS One is inspired by my old AfA One Amiga OS 3.9 bb4 AfA OS distribution, see attached video.
