Just started to use the forum. Hi everyone. Having a lot of trouble getting AROS running on my Raspberry Pi. I have successfully downloaded and merged the system and contrib of the aarch binaries. I see error messages saying firmware not found, and lots of messages about failing to open a partition. Do I need to make modifications to the files? I just put them all in the root directory of the SD card.

Hi,

Welcome.
What Pi are you trying Aros on?
Can you try another sd card or even a ssd. It can be random what results you get when mixing sd cards and fat32 writing/usage with Aros?
I have one sd card that works but is glacial slow in use, another sd card has fat32 errors but no error messages and is very fast. As you can see very random.

I've tried both Pi3 and pi4
I've tried 4 different SD cards

Thanks for your interest

Try this proven archive: https://archive.o...oad/piAROS
or the system archive itself, because maybe the problem occurs when connecting the system and the contrib
Under no circumstances do you need to modify the files in these archives. The system is ready to be flashed to the card and booted.

If piAROS fails to boot, the only thing left is the older bootloader version. This can be updated.

Thank you for the download. It did help. I now see the two eyes but a panel flashes saying looking for bootable medium.
