@sundown

i also did what you told me for the uboot commands, and again, the os4.1 starts booting until the screens that says amigaos4.1 and then the purple screen is back... :(

i tried different combinations, i.e. i tried dvd & hd on different ide ports, and the A1 did not recognise the DVD-rom as secondary master or slave or cable select...the only conf the dvd is recognised is slave on the primary port. i checked the jumpers again, everything is as it should be

I am in the dark here!!!!!

@Slayer

Sorry i havent replied for long, but i just used another HDD, brand new and he same purple screen again, no change, so i am confident now that it is not due to the HDD itself that creates the problem.

Yes, the HDD and the DVD is on the same cable, master and slave, should i use different ports and set them both in master mode??

What more information should i post here, regarding the uboot that could tell you something regarding the problem??

@Swisso

Aos4.1 for A1..at least that's what i bought from amigakit. Which hardware priorities do you mean? the boot sequence?

@Snuffy

Thanks for your help. I've done everything you said. Stripped the a1 from pci cards, selected the Cd-rom as boot device for this session only, according to the uboot amiga boot preferences, but still the same problem....the purple kickstart screen!

Do you think that there could be a more serious hardware problem? In the meantime i will go to the shop where i bought the HDD and ask for a new one... i am not exactly sure what i am going to say to them..AmigaOS 4.1 is not booting?? They will surely look at me as i am coming from outerspace! :)

@abalaban

HDD?? when the amigaone starts up i can see the HDD as device 0 and the dvd as device 1, fully recognised... do you believe i should just try another HDD?
(this hdd is also recognised by os4 and partitioned, but not in OS4.1!!)..this is strange!

Hi! I am new in this forum and i would much appreciate it if you can provide me with some help on the following issue regarding an AmigaOne. My configuration is as follows:

A1 XE 750GX@800, 512Mb ram, 250GB HDD,
Wirelless Card from Amigakit + Catweazel
UBoot version: 1.1.1

Because of various problems i had with OS4 developers version and prism2 device, i decided to upgrade my operating system and bought Os4.1 I removed all extra cards except gfx of course and when i tried to install the operating system on the A1, i booted from dvd-rom, it loads until a certain point, the screen that says AmigaOS4.1 and then it pops up a purple kickstart screen prompting to insert a floppy! And nothing else could be done!!
I have a little experience installing AOS in my SAM but never came acroos a screen like that... What could be possibly the cause? Are there any ideas??

Thank you in advance!
