After rebuilding my X5K after my borked drive incident, and since I don't have Candi now, I did try to install II on my Updated 3 X5K. It failed the 1st time but was because I forgot to install the PNG_IM app from OS4 Depot.

I take it you still have that on yours?

Other than that, I tried a 2nd time and it did install.

@nbache

Maybe, sorta. haha

The word "good" is the tickler.

Backup yes. Usable yes. Good.. not sure. haha

TJ

@IamSONIC

Glad you enjoyed it.

@rjd324

Happy to help.

BTW, that script to install enhancer you sent me I had to remember to use again during these installs.

Just one more thing I had to tackle to rebuild.

Nothing was seamless.

LOL

Thanks for that. I kept it handy!

TJ

@Mr_byte

Hope it gets sorted.

I know it can be frustrating for sure when you own something yet can't access updates and so on.

TJ

Post removed. I thought maybe you were not 100% logged on and why it does not see you and the downloads link appearing. Bummer. Hope they can fix you up.

@redfox

Yeh, was just having fun is all.

When that stops, I stop using it.

Nothing mission critical for me so what happens ... happens.

Thanks for watching.

TJ

@skynet

Thanks, good to know.

I think I will go candi-less for a bit haha.

TJ

I needed to laugh at myself and what better to make a video about it.

Did you ever think you would hear FUNKY B!TCH OS or discussion of an Amiga Commune where LOVE is in the air of Amiga Orgies, then this video may make you laugh a while if you watch the whole thing.

In the end, I am sure a few here will enjoy my foibles in the lands of Miggie!

I do keep a "when the shit hits the fan" bootable hdd with an older Amiga OS 4.1 Update 1 for cases like this so have resorted to at least getting a booting Amiga OS X5K again.

Of course this means trying to either dissect what went wrong and nit pick to see what is needed for the corrupt drive or just bite the bullet and start over, and since this drive I have been using for the last 2 to 3 years was setup with that older NGFS that I understand can have issues, a good time to start fresh with a different file system and rebuild a nicer X5K again with RX580 and all that later.

For now I am back to Radeon 7750 and that is where I stop for today and thanks to my emergency SHTF HDD I keep at all times.

I just need to get me a newer all in one USB for this next time.

tj

For now I went ahead and slapped my old Radeon 7750 back in and boot from an emergency sata hdd I had with an older Radeon driver and Amiga OS 4.1 Update 1. She boots at least.

Plan is to start fresh though and when I can install a new SSD and will do updates 1,2, and 3, and then minimum enhancer this time for main important drivers only and see how that goes.

Then will explore a MorphOS dual boot again later as that is now not working since switching to the older drive.

Anyway, that error seems to be "i can't find a good OS to boot from" and switching to an emergency backup at least I know my X5K runs.

This next time I will explore making a new USB stick with newer drivers or buy one from AmigaKit should they ever get back to me.

Don't mind buying a nice AMiga logo stick if they have one all set.

TJ

My buddy Mikey found me some older threads of the exact error I get although these are pre Update 3 of course.

But same error.

Has me baffled it just started working days later after all sorts of card swaps and this and that.

No idea if this new Update 3 has anything to do with boot up issues but anyway, if ya wanna see that others have had this error, this may be an eye opener.

Folks, here is a boot video of what happens now.

Maybe this will help?

As I don't have a keyboard with Amiga keys I tried holding down the left Shift (just that key) at boot.

No difference.

I get the same About to call loader entry at 0x7BD02020 during the boot process.

TJ

** for now I kept an older emergency Sata HDD handy in my computer just not connected with an older bootable system. Was for Radeon 7750 so I went back to that card for now and she boots so I know the X5K is OK at least. Means later one day I will start over making my X5K more what I want it to be again. The old drive was just that, a emergency bootable drive. **

Guessing this is where having a bootable USB emergency stick with newer Radeon RX580 drivers would have come in handy (nope I did not have one yet) but went ahead and tried to install the Amiga OS 4.1 Update 3 today and it hung at 100% done at the end, with it stuck on some backdrop.png and no Next button ever being clickable and the rest of workbench frozen.

I let it stay like this a bit in case it was slowly doing something but after a bit rebooted. Unfortunately I now hang at boot.

Appears I can't upload here and attach a picture here but what I get is the normal X5K boot screen and then after loading finishes this error and it hangs.

About to call loader entry at 0x7BD02020

never changes.

My X5K is a dual boot with 2 video cards. An RX580 for the Amiga OS and a Radeon 1950 for the MorphOS.

The good news is MorphOS still works. haha

Anyway, any tips other than swapping my old Radeon 7000 based video card back in and start the older bootable stick (I think I have one someplace). Would hate to have to go back to the old video card just to install the OS again.

Yes my Amiga OS X5K was a Hyperion Amiga OS 4.1u2 and Enhanced 2.2 as well so guessing the 2 are not happy now. haha

I did just email AmigaKit asking if they sell a bootable stick I can buy that will work for the newer video drivers but I emailed them the same last year and never heard back so trying again.

Bummer.

I enjoy wearing my Atari shirts at Amiwest.

Live dangerously or not at all. haha

TJ

@328gts

Now that would be crazy, an Amiga in an Atari Mega STe case. haha.

TJ

So ya wanna beautify your Amiga OS 4.1 Workbench but not sure where to start... how about check out the new Infinite Icons.

Come see what my Fall Workbench looks like as I get ready for Winter Nerdism!

TJ

I am a X5020 user and think the fan on my X1950 card that I have connected to the 4x port does run fast when I am running from my RX580 in Amiga OS. That X1950 only calms down when I switch to MorphOS. Not 100% but I can hear the fans slow up and the noise drop when I am in MorphOS. Then again, maybe my RX580 is going quieter and my X1950 is doing the same as it always does. haha.

But yes fan speed and noise is quite high in my setup, mostly when I am runnning AmigaOS from the RX580 and I sense the X1950 is just running fast as before the X1950 was installed for dual boot, my X5K was not as loud.

TJ

How about creating and selling a A600/A1200 PCIe Card to install in the X1000/X5000 that would allow Amiga OS to access the card and then the browser as well. Would sell more of these fancy computers and allow us X1K and X5K to access and play with them as part of the X5K experience.
