I tested the latest ISO on a Dell Latitude 3330. I installed to a USB stick and booted from the laptop's USB2 and USB3 ports.

- When I used the default boot option, I got stuck permanently on the "Waiting for bootable media" screen.
- When I added "debug" to the command line, it booted normally and very quickly.
- I got random behaviour with a FAT USB stick. When I first inserted it in a USB3 port, the volume name was corrupt and I got sector-out-of-bounds errors when I tried to open it. Then when I inserted the same FAT drive in a USB2 port, it showed as NDOS. Then back in a USB3 port and it showed the name correctly but gave errors on opening. Then back in a USB2 port and it could be opened but not all files were shown.
- A USB WiFi dongle and several mice worked in a USB3 port.

I was actually able to boot the original USB3 ISO I had been trying once I enabled nested paging in the VM. Is this expected, or should I bisect to establish when that became necessary?



Ahh, right. In my experience that setting was alway needed in VirtualBox to boot AROS.

Re: Dell 3330

1) After booting, could you attach WiFi and mouse to USB3 and then run 'PsdDevLister TOPOLOGY'? At the end of the output you will be topology of connected devices. Are they connected to 'PCI Root Hub' (which suggests your USB 3.0 is actually working in 2.0 compatibility) or are they connected to 'PCI Superspeed Root Hub' (true USB 3.0) operations?

2) Can you share a link (amazon, ebay, etc) to the WiFi dongle you are using? I need to buy one for regression testing and want to make sure I get the right one.

1) Thanks, I'll try that later.

2) I and most AROS users use the Netgear WG111v3. I have a list somewhere of other devices that should work. I'll look later, but anything with an RTL8187B chip should work in theory.

@deadwood

1) It shows that the devices are attached to 'PCI Root Hub'. I also tried putting the second EHCI controller offline, but Trident hung. And I tried booting without pciusb.device but got stuck on the boot media screen.

2) Some information from an old AROS-Exec post:

1) It's the same symptomps I see across all of my real hardware. This is next on my TODO.

2) Thanks.

Thanks, noted issue on your hardware. I see similar issue on some of my hardware too.
