I am not at all sure about XOSL2. There were volunteers signed up to develop it, but as with many volunteer projects on sourceforge, development time may be limited. Also, the lack of interest from users/testers and their feedback and input can be discouraging to devs and potential devs.
One factor is of course that XOSL is alive and well and living at Yahoo groups. That group list remains...

Is XOSL2 as dead as XOSL? That would be a shame... :-/.

A feature I am missing would be that boot Options are only active during certain time spans. You should be able to select a time period (date AND time) during which XOSL AUTOMATICALLY boots a certain OS.
You thus could programm your computer to wake up at night and a certain OS could be booted (maybe Linux doing some automatic tasks) and during day time your computer would boot your "normal"...

Hi,
Is this project dead?.

I too encountered this issue. I wasn't sure if it was me and how I had installed it. I should note that I am still using version 1.1.5 and am ecstatic to see a) other people actually using it; b) active project to improve it.
Let me elaborate on my problem which was a nightmare to deal with. I inherited a system with XP already installed on a single SCSI drive with 2 partitions. I added...

Hi Chrisdedisk,
I dnl your file, uninstall XOSL2, install XOSL1.1.5TF. At last, XOSL is back with its pretty look. It works fine on my PC (Mobo MSI ms-7025, graphics card MSI RX1950PROT2D256, 2 HD Maxtor IDE, no SATA). I'm not familiar with german language but it's time to be :)) (I never learnt german at school, it's a pity) but I remember the english one.
A trouble, any other video mode...

Hi green51,
since xosl2_admin isn't accessible, I think posting a hint to the download-location is ok: Just google for "iooonic" and you will be glad at downloadz-section, but pay attention: the modified XOSL comes with no warranty, is available in the version 1.1.5 and is translated to German. By the way "TF" means Thinkpad-Fix and is dedicated to systems with the above-mentioned problemes.

Hi CHRisDeDisk,
Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I'm very interested... and glad if you can give us a link to dnl the file.
Congratulations.
Green51.

Hi green51,
finally, somebody reacts. Well, in the meantime I partially solved the problem by changing the code. Direct access to the ports of the graphicadapter don't work (for example setting/getting colorpalettes), but significant slower interrupt-10h-calls (which are VESA-compatible) cause no problems.
If you are interested in that changed XOSL, I would post the weblink here with the...

Same 16 colors ugly bootscreen on this system :
mobo MSI ms-7025 w/ 3700+
Graphic Card : MSI RX1950PROT2D256
All VESA resolutions are validated, choosing 800x600 resolution hangs (colored stripes on screen), others resolutions work.
With a Asus V9999GT (Nvidia 6800GT) instead of the RX1950, every thing works fine.
As I read somewhere, it seems to be an ATI/AMD trouble (recent cards appear.
