A/UX 3.0.1 install doesn't work
Hello.
Recently I've been trying to install A/UX 3.0.1 using this tutorial: https://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/m6 ... on-windows and this QEMU build: viewtopic.php?f=37&t=11326, but I was unable to.
The A/UX boot floppy ran, but after that things went downhill.
The screen spams "no via interrupt handler:via @ 50002000.ifr mask=90" and because of that I can't do anything.
Please help!

Hi,
Yes, this can sometimes happen in the windows version. You can try again, making sure your machine is not under heavy load.

Re: A/UX 3.0.1 install doesn't work
Well, the Windows version just refuses to work for me.
@Cat_7, could you please send the compilation instructions so I could make my own Linux build? Last time I tried stock git Qemu it instantly hung at launch.

Re: A/UX 3.0.1 install doesn't work
git clone -b q800.upstream https://www.gitlab.com/mcayland/qemu q800-upstream
cd q800-upstream
./configure --target-list=m68k-softmmu --enable-gtk --enable-sdl
make
This will get you a binary to run MacOS.
To create a binary to run A/UX revert the last commit and build again.

Thanks. I'll try it when I get home.

I can get this far using a Linux build, but the Disk Setup is not happy with the empty target hard-drive.

Yes, that currently is an issue.

Re: A/UX 3.0.1 install doesn't work
Damn it, exact same issue even on the Linux build. Guess I'll have to wait until it gets fixed in the tree.
Re: A/UX 3.0.1 install doesn't work
On mine, when the A/UX installer boots, it goes through some splash screens and then fills the screen with a repeating message that says "no via interrupt handler:via @ 5002000,ifr mask=90". I get this on both Cat_7 's Windows A/UX build, and on a Linux build I made from the git repository listed by Cat_7 earlier? Anyone have any ideas? Is this possibly a bad ROM, it seems odd that I have two independent builds with the same problem.

compare your Quadra 800 ROM with mine:

Re: A/UX 3.0.1 install doesn't work
Hi,
It might also be partly dependent on the speed of the host as there are still some timing issues.
On my old 2.4 Ghz dual core mac mini I can never get past that error, while on my 3.5 Ghz i7 Windows/Linux machine I sporadically run into it when running Windows. Msys2-based Windows builds are some 20% slower compared to macOS and Linux builds.
It seems I use the same rom, but a fresh download of the boot floppy image has this checksum:
sha256sum AUXBootfloppy.img
c10cdfe8eb3189c4cbf558d9d1db46ab783d821803d1f9c653ba12254d2dc668 AUXBootfloppy.img

Re: A/UX 3.0.1 install doesn't work
So that's probably the issue as my host isn't a strong one. Guess I'll have to wait until the timing gets fixed
Re: A/UX 3.0.1 install doesn't work
n800 - Thanks for the sanity check on the ROM. My sha256sum matches. Not on the boot floppy image though...
Cat_7 - Good to know about the timing issues (some how I missed that part of the very first post - oops). I'm trying this on old computers - an old Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz (Linux) and an AMD-FX6100 3.3Ghz 6-core (Windows) - so that is probably why I'm getting the issue.
Oddly enough, my boot floppy image doesn't match either of the sha256sums you two posted. I'll have to check that out later, and maybe try this on my i5 (but it sounds like that may be a long shot).
Thanks! It is great to see this progress. I wish there was more I could do to help besides test. I consider myself lucky if I can get stuff to build from source, I'm not exactly a developer

I'm not sure if quada800rom.elf is quada800.rom. Did you change quada800rom.elf to quada800.rom

Can you share your installed aux image

It seems you did not copy the last line from your bat file. I assume it points to the correct iso containing the installer. If so, your batch file is OK.qemu-system-m68k-AUX-alpha.exe ^

The quadra800rom.elf file is not the quadra 800 rom, it contains data to ease debugging. It is not that difficult to search for Mac roms. You might have to try some to find the right one.

Re: A/UX 3.0.1 install doesn't work
I'm in China. It seems difficult to find MAC ROM on domestic websites
Re: A/UX 3.0.1 install doesn't work
Can you send the complete command to start the image after installation? After the installation, I deleted the corresponding commands of floppy disk and CD-ROM drive according to your method, and I can't start. I think it's the problem of my startup command.
