This warning is about the FreeMiNT internals. Some AHDI versions doesn't support XHDI (are there any at all?) and therefore FreeMiNT falls back to BIOS HDD access usage of which is not easy for an alternative OS. > It brings a question to my mind though: > There is a AHDI 6.0 that is freely available. Where can we get this? > Can this version not be used on Aranym? It should not have anything in common with ARAnyM itself. It just needs to support IDE as there is no SCSI HDDs in ARAnyM. BTW: Taking the message literally... "AHDI 3.0 not supported on this system, please update.". Why FreeMiNT simply dosn't do halt instead of running further. In present state there should probably be just more detailed warning of what is wrong instead of saying "unsupported" I guess. best regards STan
