ArcaOS 5.0 Russian
Russian ARCAOS exists and it's available since the middle of 2017. All versions are supported: 5.0, 5.0.1, 5.0.2.

eCo Software is able release OS/2 LIP packages for any other language (German, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Sweden, etc)

What is ACPI?

Section 1: ACPI works for your computer

If ACPI driver works on your computer ..

then share the success story with other users of eComStation:

Section 2: You can't boot to desktop

Usually you can boot ACPI.PSD without parameters. And you have problems if boot in /SMP /PIC mode or /SMP /APIC mode.

Learn the experience of other users
Configure BIOS Setup
  • Don't forget select in BIOS Setup: USB Legacy = disable
  • enable ACPI support, enable APIC mode
Different versions of ACPI driver First of all, try different version of ACPI driver:
  • ACPI 3.14 -- recommended for notebooks -- BETAZONE
  • ACPI 3.18 for eCS 2.0 GA -- good for motherboards manufactured after 2008 -- it is included to eCS 2.0 GA
  • ACPI v.today -- available by eComStation subscription

How to switch between different version of ACPI? Use ACPI Fast Upgrade .wpi package - it replaces binary files.

Simplify the configuration of PC Main goal of this stage - find the cause of headache and problems.
  • Disable USB controllers
  • Disable audio, network, etc
  • read ACPI documentation

Start the experiments from the beginning. If eCS PC works then enable one device and its drivers, try boot again.

Read the documentation again ACPI homepage

Section 3: You can boot eComStation PC to desktop but have problems

? Do you have troubles with

  • troubles with USB
  • distorted sound
  • slow network ? hangs because of network activity?
  • slow harddisk?

Step 1: Update device drivers

Do you use experimental drivers? beta versions of software? Recall full list of changes and buggy applications.

Step 2: Check IRQ

Resolve the conflicts related to IRQ

Note: The problems may occur if you are booting in PIC mode (1 CPU or N CPUs in SMP PIC mode). If use SMP APIC mode then IRQ problems are resolved automatically.

run in command line:
rmview.exe /irq > rmview.log

Example of rmview.log:

  IRQ Level =  0  PCI Pin = NONE  Flg = EXCLUSIVE    TIMER_CH_0
  IRQ Level =  1  PCI Pin = NONE  Flg = EXCLUSIVE    KBD_0 Keyboard Controller
  IRQ Level =  2  PCI Pin = NONE  Flg = EXCLUSIVE    PIC_1
  IRQ Level =  4  PCI Pin = NONE  Flg = MULTIPLEXED  SERIAL_0  Serial Controller
  IRQ Level =  5  PCI Pin = B     Flg = SHARED       Intel 82801DB-ICH4 with Analog Devices AD1981B
  IRQ Level =  8  PCI Pin = NONE  Flg = EXCLUSIVE    RTC

! IRQ Level =  9  PCI Pin = B     Flg = SHARED       UHCI Compliant USB Host Controller
! IRQ Level =  9  PCI Pin = A     Flg = SHARED       Intel 2200 Wlan
! IRQ Level =  9  PCI Pin = C     Flg = SHARED       UHCI Compliant USB Host Controller
! IRQ Level =  9  PCI Pin = NONE  Flg = SHARED       ACPI Interface
  IRQ Level = 10  PCI Pin = D     Flg = SHARED       EHCI Compliant USB Host Controller
! IRQ Level = 11  PCI Pin = A     Flg = SHARED       Intel 10/100/1000
! IRQ Level = 11  PCI Pin = A     Flg = SHARED       UHCI Compliant USB Host Controller
  IRQ Level = 12  PCI Pin = NONE  Flg = SHARED       AUX_0 PS/2 Auxiliary Device Controller
  IRQ Level = 14  PCI Pin = NONE  Flg = EXCLUSIVE    IDE_0 xATA Controller
  IRQ Level = 15  PCI Pin = NONE  Flg = EXCLUSIVE    IDE_1 xATA Controller

  IRQ Level = 44  PCI Pin = NONE  Flg = EXCLUSIVE    ACPI Interface
  IRQ Level = 45  PCI Pin = NONE  Flg = EXCLUSIVE    ACPI Interface
  IRQ Level = 46  PCI Pin = NONE  Flg = EXCLUSIVE    ACPI Interface
  IRQ Level = 47  PCI Pin = NONE  Flg = EXCLUSIVE    ACPI Interface

Check that:

  • ACPI Interface is alone on IRQ9 (IRQ Level = 9)
  • Uniaud is alone (no USB controllers on the same IRQ)
  • Network adapter is alone (no USB controllers on the same IRQ)
  • All Thinkpad notebooks have common problem if booting in PIC mode: all devices are using IRQ11 (this happens if you activate ACPI, i.e. boot ACPI.PSD; if don't enable ACPI then problem doesn't occur because old BIOS configures IRQs by itself). As result, sound doesn't work, network doesn't work, USB doesn't work.
Step 3: Resolve IRQ conflicts
  • Method 1: setup IRQs via BIOS setup
  • Method 2: use LINK command integrated to ACPI.PSD
  • Method 3: disable the devices (disable unnecessary IDE controller, use onboard audio instead of external, etc)

 

Method 2: Lars Erdmann demonstrates how to use LINK option:

it's because the IRQ links are not properly set or set to a "forbidden" IRQ (like IRQ13 which is reserved for the Co-Processor). I think this affects only onboard devices. I had the same problem. What you need to do:

boot eComStation, capture the log of ACPI: copy acpica$ acpica.log (or find it in logs directory if the logging is activated)

in acpica.log look for a section like this:

8:5:44.0 IRQLinks found:
8:5:44.0 0: 'LNKB' (F9005488)  P[*3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15] <- 0:10.0 0:2.3
8:5:44.0                        A[]
8:5:44.0 1: 'LNKC' (F90056E0)  P[ 3, 4,*5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15] <- 0:7.0 0:2.7
...

If one of the sections does not have a "*" in the P[] section, this is the IRQ link that is not properly set up. You will have to assign an IRQ manually like this (in config.sys):

PSD=ACPI.PSD /LNK:LNKE:5 (example: set LNKE to IRQ 5, in your case I guess you could also set it to IRQs > 15 but I don't know).

Then you will get something like this (see the LNKE entry):

...
8:5:44.0  Set: 5 4: 'LNKE' (F9005B90)  P[ 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15] <- 0:3.0
8:5:44.0                        A[]
8:5:44.0 5: 'LNKF' (F9005DE8)  P[ 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11,*12, 14, 15] <- 0:3.1
8:5:44.0                        A[]
8:5:44.0 6: 'LNKG' (F9006040)  P[ 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10,*11, 12, 14, 15] <- 0:3.2
8:5:44.0                        A[]
8:5:44.0 7: 'LNKH' (F9006298)  P[]
8:5:44.0                        A[]

and all of a sudden you can use all USB ports (or whatever other device did not work).

Section 4: Utilities and applications to manage ACPI

You can install ACPI Setup to configure ACPI APM.

Section 5: Contact support service

If you have troubles with ACPI configuration then contact the support service.

If new version of ACPI driver doesn't work on your notebook and ACPI 3.14 works fine then send the report to ACPI DB
