What is the command to save the current UBoot Settings so I can "re-input" them ?

Thanks.

Jerry

Hehe...

In about 9 Days (depends of your TimeZone I guess...), we might see a new file to download on OS4Depot...

- AOS4 for PS3 (or other favourite HW?)

// Last year memories...

-- Me run fast !

@tonyw

Thanks.
I just bought one... I will install it tonight or tomorrow.

Jerry

@acefnq

Will any CR2032 do the job ?

And what's about your Troika Panda Machine ?

@Raziel

I might try once the machine is back and everything backed-up...

Jerry

@poweramiga

I tried last night with no success...


I reckon the problems could be (to be investigated this weekend):
-- HDD Failure (but booting from CDRom should not freeze ?)
-- Dust (they must be enough in there to use as a duvet !)
-- Battery discharge (has been replaced a couple of Months ago only !)
-- Power Supply Failure (True it has been quite noisy lately !)
-- Loose Cable (but the machine hasn't been moved for a while...)

--- Any other ideas ?

Jerry

@Rigo

Congratulations !

@poweramiga

I will give it another go tonight...

I'm using FFS... I tried SFS when I was on Update3, and I had a few problem (and in fact another faulty 120GB HDD !)... Since then I've always been scared to try again SFS...Maybe I will once everything is recovered AND backed-up...

@nubechecorre

Thanks.
I don't have a spare battery, I will try to buy one this weekend (it might be a bit tight to buy one before)...

Ref the HDD Led... With the tower I have, you don't see the HDD leds unless you open the tower...
This weekend I will open it up and clean the inside as I reckon it could be quite dusty, especially with 2 cats !...

@Raziel

I rebooted and then Partition Wizard returned more info... But stopped/froze just before it indicates the blocks details of the first partition... But all partitions were listed !

Really odd. I would think that it could be something to do with the battery, but I changed it a month or two ago (last Sunday of January IIRC at the 3Cag meeting...)

Jerry

@All

I managed to boot from the CDRom (AOS4Final)... But not it looks like I have a problem !

-- MediaToolBox show both Hard Disk as "Not Installed"
-- Partition Wizard can not find any partitions !

If I select "Install" from the Media ToolBox, would I loose all my data ?

@Raziel & ssolie

Thanks. I will give it another go tonight when I get home...

Do you also know the "manual" command ? Is it something like "setenv boota SII680" then "saveenv" and "reset"?

In the worse scenario, I should be able to connect the DVD-Combo back to IDE (though I would rather avoid, it would give me the oppotunity to clean a bit the inside of the tower as well...).

Jerry

@Raziel

I believe it's the "ULTRA ATA/133 SiI680 IDE RAID (PCI)" from AmigaKit

I burned the CDRom using Nero Burning Room... on the PeeCee.

Jerry

@Raziel

Just got FFS.

In UBoot I changed the setting to SII CDROM Serial (I think it's how it's called), and it doesn't seem to boot at all from the CDROM.
Isn't there a command like "setenv boota SII380" (or whatever number it is I don't have my A1 in front of me at the moment - followed by a "reset") or something like that ?



* It's a freshly burned CD-R with freshly downloaded AOS4Final.
* I'm trying to boot from a DVD (Combo) Drive...

@All

I generally leave my A1XE-G4 ON all the time... Just shut it down about 30-40 minutes a day...

Saturday, it was ON, and I decided to launch SimpleMail, and the system frozed !
After a little while I had a Requester saying than AOS4: is not available (or something like that). AOS4 is DH0:, my main partition.

-- Clicking on [Retry] keep presenting me with the same requester !
-- So I rebooted... I saw UBoot, loading the module, then stopped (before loading WB or even loading all modules) with a Hard Disk Failure !
It seems one of the block is corrupted !!!

-- I tried booting from an AOS4_Upd1 and from an AOS4_Upd4 CD to no avail... Modifying UBoot didn't do anything, it seems to be just ignored !

So my question is: Can I boot from CD-Rom if it's on the SII Card ? If yes then I might be missing the correct settings in UBOOT. Any idea ?

What I would like is boot from the CD and try to Recover the HDD... Then maybe replace it once all my Data are safe...

Thanks.

Just look at my avatar... Nasher on top of the CRT (now in Outcast' garage... Just the CRT, not Nasher !)


And there is more !
