Try a new coin battery, old ones can cause all sorts of problems.

Do you use proper 80 wire or older 40 wire IDE cables?
The Pegasos 1 will give exactly this problem when 40 wire cables are used and they are pretty similar to the Aone XE...

Hi!

Congrats on getting your XE up and running.... Nice solid
machine in my experience, if you optimize it and tread
lightly on USB.

But to start with, it sounds like you have it booting (from
CD or ??) and you're just trying to get it to boot from the
hard drive? Maybe you can explain what exactly you've
done so far?

First, make sure you have a brand new 2032 battery in your
XE. Do this before anything else. The XE can be
notoriously flakey if the battery starts to decline.

Otherwise, it sounds a lot like you could be having a
problem with you UBoot configuration.... You have to set
some "environment variables" so UBoot knows what drives to
boot from.

Here's a page on the AmigaOS wiki describing those:

http://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/UserDoc:BIOS

To most easily see how your XE's variables look, when you
boot to AmigaOS, open a Shell window and type in the
"NVGetVar" command and see what comes up.

If you're using the IDE bus on the motherboard for your
harddrive, I think the most important variables to have
set will be these:

a1ide_conf
a1ide_xfer
a1ide_maxbus
boot1
boot2
boot3
boot4

There are three ways you can set those variables...

You can set those variables using the command line in the
UBoot shell (really crude but straight forward) and its
"setenv" and "saveenv" commands.

You can also use the UBoot prefs program that gives you a
GUI to do this with.

As a final resort, you can use the UBoot "GUI", but beware!
It is really flakey and you will have to go through and
reset all boot settings each time you open it (it wipes
settings when opened).

For comparison's sake, on my XE, I use sii3112 SATA and
sii0680 IDE cards instead for stability. This is how my
ENVVAR list looks:

----------------------------------------------------
bootcmd=menu; run menuboot_cmd
bootdelay=0
baudrate=115200
preboot=

stdin=ps2kbd

sii3112ide_maxbus=2
sii3112ide_xfer=FF
sii0680ide_xfer=C0E0
sii3112ide_conf=12
----------------------------------------------------

Good luck & enjoy,

PJS
