Hi all,

i've installed a VM AOS 5.0.3, it seems to runs well
but

- the ACPI shutdown of VBOX don't shutdown the VM
- if i add more than 1 CPU the AOS 503 VM still see only one

virtual CPU

(ACPI PSD is in config.sys)

host server is WS 2019 ST.ED.

thanks
bye

I recommend not using more than 1 CPU in the VBox

configuration.

Later versions of VBox work a little better than older ones, but

it

looks like the support is similar to HYPERTHREADING, and
HYPERTHREADING is not, at all, friendly to OS/2. Using it will
probably result in hangs, after a while (usually less than 10
minutes).

I think we need more information, to determine what may cause

the

other problems. ACPI is probably not loading, for some reason.
Which kernel got installed? Try the ACPISTAT command, in a
command prompt.

acpi 3.23.09
system is operating in PIC mode (Mode 0)
kernel is 14.200_W4

This kernel is the Uniprocessor kernel.

reailt PSD installed

i reinstalled the guest VM AOS 5.0.3 with ACPI modern hardware
and now it see 2 virtual CPUs

I will be surprised, if that doesn't cause hangs.

shutdown ACPI function still don't work

How, exactly, are you doing the shutdown? I always use RMB and
select shutdown. From there, you have options.

i've also a small issue
i must install boot manager to make the guest OS in the VM to

boot

even if i have the primary partition (about 4GB JFS) startable
the VM don't boot without boot manager

If you have only ONE boot volume, and it is drive C:, and it is a
primary partition, you don't need Boot Manager (and, I hope you
mean Air Boot, not the ancient Boot Manager, which can have
problems with ACPI).

It is -34C (about -32F), and I need to go out for the morning.

Hope this helps...
