For one thing, try and look at the crashlog in the first post: The bottom most entry says "GrimReaper" at addr 0x0000000", which is obviously not correct.

I got the same crashlog running Timberwolf-RC3 in diskboot.config & GrimReaper at 0x0000000.
Mine was an ISI exception crash.
My hardware is an A1XE-G3 OS4.1 update6 (uptodate).

Hello,

haven't used TimberWolf for a while. I used to apply all updates since the nice new update systems took place. Today i launched TimberWolf and, with my surprice, i noticed that Timberwolf is more reactive and a bit more faster... and having no freeze till now. Anyone else experienced such beahviour or it's just a trick of my mind?

Just curious if any update is responsible of this improvements. Considering i have the good and humble 440 ep, other user that have more ram and more Mhz should have now a very good browsing experience on Amiga.

On the strength of your post, I've just given Timberwolf a try and get the folowing Crashlog :(

I don't want to turn this thread into a Timberwolf bug report thread, so just as a heads-up, I hope you have reported this issue elsewhere.

Yes, it's filed as a bug report.
just hope health and time are available to sort it.

Time and money is better spent on Timberwolf, where there are good chances of getting something from this decade.

The Problem is, I can't currently run Timberwolf.
I have to re-save the appdir entry, and bookmarks don't work on my A1XE-G3 800.

Hi Simon,
Just tried to update to 2.20 from 2.18 and had to install manually. amiupdate kept telling me there was an update "installed:2.18 update: 2.20" and when I selected it told me it would restart with the new version.
Which hadn't been installed, just put in the unpacked directory in ram:
Anyway, as I said installed manually, and version 2.20 updated the amiupdate locale files. So it appears to be fine.

If Timberwolf won't start for some reason (probably a corrupt database), then you need to (1) reboot, (2) delete the "CurrentUserProfile" folder, and then (3) start Timberwolf & be patient while it recreates everything.

Actually, if you open and re-save AppDirr/Timberwolf-bin before running Timberwolf, it will open the second time without a GR.

I have reported it as a bug for RC1, RC2 and now also RC3, but no fix yet.

I am suprised that a HID device is having problems though.

Have you verified that the wireless mouse works correctly on other operating systems / hardware (windows linux etc)?

No, I have an iMac, but I use a trackpad on that.
My wife has a pc for running Sage accounts, so I could give it a try. I'll come back to you over the weekend. It's just a process of elimination really.

Have you tried booting with the new wired mouse attached to USB?

Ok, seems you were right.
With the wired usb mouse in either the front, or back usb2 ports, My A1XE boots into update 5 no problems at all.
I wonder what the difference with the usb wireless mouse is, surely the driver's should send out the same signal's.

thanks for the heads up.

No, I haven't.
I was just pleased to get everything working again.

But.... I'll give it a try and get back to you.

The wireless mouse is a microsoft wireless laser 5000.
The scroll wheel worked brilliantly, whereas the ps2, and now the usb wired one (via ps2) didn't and doesn't ( if you get my drift).

I will do some more testing to try to narrow down the problem.

Ok, I have got a wired usb mouse, and connected it to the PS2 adapter, and everything seems to be back to normal.

It begs the question, is there a problem with usb/uboot on the A1?
What happens when I can no longer geta ps2 keyboard?

I have put the wireless usb mouse in a ps2/usb adapter, and update 5 boots again (Phew!), but the mouse is not working at all, the cursor is just locked to the top right corner of the screen.

Do you have on your kickstart (drawer) or kicklayout (file in kickstart drawer) a file called 'BootDevice'?

It is just a text file.

If you want some other device than that with the highest boot priority
to be the default boot device for a given KickLayout file, add an entry
like
..

But take care if you create/delete it it can make your system not bootable (not loading kickstart modules).

No such file exists, I have a diskboot.config and diskboot.kmod, but no bootdevice file.

I have done bothe a soft re-boot, and hard re-boot, and update 4 boots both times.
The only difference between the files in s: on update4 & 5, is that there is the S bit set on both network-startup, and startup-sequence.

There are some messages about intuition resetting some messages.
Also the usb mouse does not work when the shell is displayed, but the ps2 keyboard does.

Well, disconnect your mouse and keyboard and see what happens.

Well, I still have my ps2 keyboard attached, and that is working fine. I swapped my ps2 mouse, yesterday, for another one but it had a ball, and wasn't particularly responsive, that's why I tried the usb one, which seems to be working fine.

Have you tried to execute the startup-sequence manually as I suggested?

I have ben printing from Turbocalc most of the morning, so I'll give this a try once I have finished working.

Quote:

Maybe your PS2-Port died and not the mouse. Try to commenting out (put a semicolon ";" in front of the line) the "ps2.resource.kmod" from your kicklayout file.

I still have my ps2 keyboard connected, so this is required.

As I can boot from my update2 partition, and I certainly was able to boot from my update5 partition with this hardware configuration, it would seem to indicate something silly has happened.

Do I need to start from scratch to install update5, i.e. from update 1 onwards, or can I install update5 on top of my existing update5 partition to see if that fixes anything?

Hi Tony

All those suspects in S: are there.

Also my update 4 partition does not boot either, even thought all those files are also there.

I have to go back to update2 partition to boot into OS4.
I have checked SLBv2 is installed, I have checked the files in C: (such as Loadwb), and I have checked kicklayout. Although that is obviously run, as I get through that to the shell prompt.

I was playing an ,avi file in DvPlayer, when the system froze, and I got a locked sound.
I turned my A1 off (hard reset) and everything loaded up to the amigaOS4.i boot screen, and then a full screen sized shell window with the prompt OS4.1upd5>
Which is the name of my boot partition.
I then tried booting from the OS4,iupdate1 CD, and the system boots fine, and shows all the hard drives and partitions I have installed.
I then reinstalled SLB, with the same result.
I have then tried to boot from my OS4.1update4 partition, which again just gives an OS4.1upd4 prompt in a full screen shell window.
I have checked loadwb in C: on each partition, and none seem corrupted.

I have now managed to boot from an update2 partition on my hard drive, but I don't know what to do to get my later update partitions booting again.
It is probably something simple, but it eludes me.
