You say the new kernel works if you use the ELBOX drivers, does that mean that you disabled some modules in the kicklayout ?

If yes which ones ?

@nubechecorre

Humor me and please look at the jumpers, can you also send me that log that you sent to Hansjoerg ?

I have a mediator system myself, did test a lot of stuff, and who knows i might know more,

also provide detailed specs of your system.

@nubechecorre

Have you tried with NO PCI card except for a Voodoo3 ?

And what are the jumper settings on your Mediator ?

ANy PCMCIA device attached ?

@Spirantho

Just to make sure, when you use the say you do not use other hw then the highway and it still crashes, do you use ANY USB devices like keyboard or mouse ?

Or you just have the highway and the driver installed and are NOT using anything USB related on it ?

@Spirantho

When you try the Highway is that with our without the usb keyboard/mouse whatever that isnt clear to me...

There should be a kernel.debug in Kickstart..

@Jurassicc

Why wouldnt the subway be supported under OS4 ? I think it does...

@TiredOfLife

AllowBasePageacces was also needed if you installed the FASTATA software (elbox updated their drivers in the meantime).

Tbh i have no idea what your problem might be with the Fastata. i suggest you contact elbox support directly.

here it works with the MK-III model

@Spirantho

Do you have any other hardware attached ? I have noticed myself the the Prometheus doesnt always work here with the NIC card for example.

@Alkaron

I dont think you have a FAST ATA MK-III to start, its an older version which means the 2nd channel will not automaticaly work with the Elbox fastata drivers.


I installed my A1200 today with a Fast ATA-MK III (it says so on the hw itself on the left side if its a MK-III).

the only reason i can think if that it resets is that you didnt enable ALLOWBASEPAGEACCES during the install. You need to have that ON for the FastATA cards to work.

@Spirantho

Today i have been trying a highway on an A4000 with CSPPC and it worked quite well...

Do you have serial output ?

@Alkaron

When you use the bootfloppy to boot i assume you do a COLDBOOT and do not load in any FASTATA3 driver before using the floppy ?

The constant reboot could be because AllowBasePageacces is not set.

But if you really boot from cold with the original OS4 boot floppy it should work none the less.

Got a serial cable and another computer handy ?

@Alkaron


Can you state your complete system setup ?

Do you have MAPROM turned off in the Blizzard setup menu ?

The FastATA MKI and II should work but only port 0 of the ide connector is detected.

FastATA MKIII should work with both port 0 and 1.

My guess its not the fastata controller but something else.

You do use the floppy drive to boot the install system dont you ?
