Hi,

New build and some good news. I was able to upgrade the base system to the final version already, so 20211128. This means that following builds should only contain small changes and bug fixes, rather then updates to all components. Note that I still didn't perform full regression testing, this will happen once I get contrib updated to new version.

https://axrt.org/development/AROS-20211128-D05-pc-i386-boot-iso.zip

Worth noting there are more fixes to Wanderer. @AMIGASYSTEM please check if this bug is resolved https://github.com/deadw00d/AROS/issues/47

Ok thanks deadwood, I'll do all the necessary tests!

Reguard "No mouse pointer when booting in VESA mode from AROS Live Drive ( Live USB )!" what are you referring to,

On the USB Pendrive either installed from InstallAROS, or from the Script that generates the USB Pendriver to Install AROS, it has no problems on the Pointer on my ACER Aspire One ZG5, whether in VESA mode or Graphics Sheda mode

In the previous post the link you attached to user d0wz, does not work because at the end of the link there is a dot (.)

Hmm, I don't see . on the link. Both links (one to the github and one to the 64-bit ISO) work for me.

With regards to "no mouse pointer" regression, this is something that I see consistently on my test computer. It's very weird problem. It's only in VESA/VGA modes when running from pen drive. Once I install AROS to hard drive, the then problem goes away.

With these last two of your Builds D1 and D2 the Live Pendrive works fine (Mouse arrow visible) on my PCs "ACER Aspire One ZG5", "Dell Inspiron Mini 910" and "Samsung R730".

While on PC "ACER ASpire 5920" the Live Pendrive does not boot, after GRUB I get a black screen, in VGA (Safe mode) mode I get error "ATA04" ata_WaitBusuyTO: IRQ mode

With 20201110-2 on all 4 PCs the pendrive worked fine and the Mouse arrow was also clearly visible.

Will re-test the 3 PCs with your latest Build D5

For the "ACER ASpire 5920", does adding "noacpi" solve the boot problem?

No 'noacpi' does not solve it, even Build D5 has the same problem on 'ACER ASpire 5920'.

Can you try 64-bit ISO https://axrt.org/development/aros-pc-x86_64-alpha-6.zip on the ACER Aspire 5920?

@Amiwell79

Maybe you can install to pen drive under a VM and try booting pen drive?

Strange VMWare is easy to install on Windows, try the free version "VMware Player", what kind of problems do you have installing VMware? what version of Windows are you using?

Uninstall it and install it from scratch, try first an older version 7.x and then a new one.

Installing and testing with Pendrives is very fast, DVDs are a thing of the past, nobody installs with CDs/DVDs any more, long times and possible burning errors.

Also, when testing ISOs, with Pendrives you can replace files, with CDs/DVDs you have to burn a CD/DVD every time

--- Italiano ---

Disinstallalo e installalo ex-novo, prova prima con una versione più vecchia la 7.x e poi una nuova.

Installare e fare i test con le Pendrive è velocissimo, i DVD appartengono al passato, nessuno più installa con i CD/DVD, tempi lunghi e possibile errori di masterizzazione.

Inoltre quando testi le ISO, con le Pendrive puoi sostituire i file, con i CD/DVD ogni volta devi Masterizzare un CD/DVD

With pc-x86_64-alpha-6, on "ACER ASpire 5920" I get a black screen, same thing with "ACER Aspire One ZG5", "Dell Inspiron Mini 910" I don't know if these two small netbooks support 64Bit

"Samsung R730". first the cat's eyes appear and then an error "Read Error -6 on block 0", I don't know if it's a defect of the Pendrive (I always use this pendrive for all tests) possibly I can try with another pendrive

With pc-x86_64-alpha-6 i used a different Pendrive and the result was the same, even the error received on "Samsung R730" is the same "Read Error -6 on block 0",

Thanks for the tests, looks like a regression.

@AMIGASYSTEM

What is the level of support of ACER Aspire 5920 with previous release? Are native graphics, sound and network card supported in AROS?

Unfortunately ACER 'Aspire 5920' with little compatibility

Video Mode = VESA
Audio = Recognised "hdaudio: HiFi 16 Bit Stereo" but no sound
WiFi = Not Supported (also tried other WiFi sheders I have at home, none are supported at the moment)
LAN = Not Tested

On ACER "Aspire 5920" AROS One x86 installs perfectly both from PenDriver and DVD

I add the compatibility of my other PCs

Netbook ACER Aspire One ZG5.
Video Card Supported = YES
Sound Card Supported = YES
WiFi Card Supported = YES
Touchpad Supported =YES
LAN = Not Tested

Netbook Dell Inspiron Mini 910.
Video Card Supported = YES
Sound Card Supported = YES
WiFi Card Supported = NO
Touchpad Supported = YES
LAN = Not Tested

Samsung R730
Video Card Supported = NO
VESA = YES
Sound Card Supported = YES
WiFi Card Supported = NO
Touchpad Supported = NO

Ahi gives me a problem I attach an image, for the rest the system and the installed apps work, I have to try to install on HD because the previous versions only went with a flash drive
