Hi @Rogue
Please try to be precise with your reports
I still don't like the scan of all CDRoms devices at bootup! I occasionally forget to remove audio disc and at next bootup BAM, it takes forever for UBoot to figure out what to do?
Can a flag be created to read only one CD/DVD device for Boot1 device and ignore all the others down the line for the normal HD bootup?
I should have set up a bugtracker for this  I'll try to come up with something for this one.

@ShInKurO
I've heard of a similar problem from someone else (I suppose that is a PS/2 switch), but that isn't exactly a U-Boot problem. Please, ONLY report U-Boot related bugs here, as the subject suggests. Thanks.

@ZeroG Quote: 1.) Wasn't there a problem with PCI-GFX-Cards in the MicroA1? Just want to ask, i have a XE. That problem is a hardware issue. It can be done, as HammerD pointed out; but it doesn't work with USB and IDE DMA enabled. Quote: 2.) Does UBoot send the "Security Freeze Lock"-Command to all HDDs? To be honest, I don't have the slightest idea. The code is generic, and I know squad about ATA. Well, it's not quite true, I actually wrote the very first (PIO Mode) version of a1ide.device, but that is so long ago (holy cow... seven years!) that I don't remember squad

U-Boot debug output goes to the screen at that stage in the boot process.

That change is already in, since about 1.5 years, but of course I never published that version.

I believe you said the

Reading sector 256
thing was fixed in an unpublished update, right?
It's a leftover debug output which is removed in the meantime. Quote: Would it be feasible to have SOME kind of output on the screen even if the battery is dead? I know the hardware/software can't read the battery's voltage but anything would be better than a blank screen. Even just a "Uboot Copyright 2008" would be better than nothing.
Of course it's not a real big problem as most of us know now if we get just a blank screen to change the battery. But it would be nice if it wasn't too hard to implement. No, it's not possible, because the early startup hangs when the battery is dead. You can't even get to a stage where you can run the graphics card BIOS. There is nothing I can do about this.

Pressing CTRL+F12 on a PS/2 or USB keyboard activates this keyboard automatically if you have misconfigured stdin.

First time I hear about that problem, so far I was under the impression that the U-Boot USB code is pretty solid.
Is that a wireless USB keyboard? If yes, it might simply not respond quickly enough.
Do you have a PS/2 keyboard? If yes, try to plug that in and issue a "usb reset" from the command line. If that works, I can try to insert a second usb reset if the stdin is set to usbkbd and no keyboard was found. Otherwise, I don't think I can fix that, it is very likely related to a bad keyboard.

This is not about UBoot prefs, sorry. I don't even know who maintains that component (might actually be orphaned), but in any case, this is only about bugs directly within U-Boot.
Sorry.

@Chris Quote: Ideally it should also auto-detect what sort of keyboard is attached, but that's probably more "feature request" than "bug" Well, to detect a PS/2 keyboard, it needs to send the resets, which gets you back to the start - you need to reset the keyboard to detect its presence, and you need to reset it several times to find all the slow ones (mostly wireless stuff). FWIW, USB reset takes equally long to detect all devices.

@saimo Quote: Ah, yes, I forgot to mention that that's without CD in. Even if I leave the tray open, it only takes four seconds without a CD. Quote: One more thing I forgot: at some point I got my U-Boot chip replaced (that's why I happen to have version 1.1.4 instead of 1.1.1) and I'm almost sure that the wait was only 7 seconds before - i.e. version 1.1.4 could have done things worse. Well, wait-and-see then I suppose. If things don't work better with 1.3.4, we may revisit the problem. Quote: That's what I do. I was pointing them out just to allow you to do some cleaning up. I'll check if any of those are still in the default environment.

@Chris Problem is that I cannot take this out. If I do, some PS/2 keyboard will not connect at all anymore. At the early stage, the stdin and stdout are still set to serial. I'll investigate what possibilities are there; if I can get to the nvram during early init (I think that is possible) I can try to read the actual variable and inhibit ps/2 reset, but the problem is really that if the manure hits the fan, you might be stuck with a system that you cannot use anymore. A possibility would be to have a separate variable that inhibits the reset of the PS/2 keyboard so that users that know what they are in for can set it. About the DVD drive, see my other reply. The ATAPI code is a mystery to me. If anyone with a problematic DVD drive is adventurous enough, I can send them a test version of U-Boot with debug output enabled to shed some light on it, BUT you would have to be aware that there is no reverting back to an older version unless you have a firmware file for the firmware updater. The current version should work and be able to boot AmigaOS, but is largely untested and might make a complete mess out of your system. If that doesn't scare you, write me a mail

@saimo Quote: My "major" problem is that initialization of my DVD drive takes some 13 seconds (that's a relevant part of the 36 seconds it takes to cold-boot - it bugs me when I start the machine and does not allow me to impress people even more) I just tested, my drive here takes about five seconds with or without a CD. That happens to be the timeout of the ATAPI code. If you drive takes that long, it's a problem with the drive, and I won't be able to do anything about it. It's a Samsung DVD drive. About the variables, just delete them.

@LyleHaze
Problem is that I don't exactly know much about ATAPI, so the chance that I can fix that is pretty slim.
Edit: Does the drive report anything? I mean, does it give debug output, or is it just not detected?

Thanks. This bug was already fixed in earlier (unreleased) versions of U-Boot, so this should be fixed in the new installment.

Hello World. As you might have heard, I am working on an update to the AmigaOne U-Boot. As such, I want to try and get rid off as many bugs as possible. If you have any problem that you think is caused by a bug in U-Boot, please post them in this thread. I will try to fix them as far as this is possible. Please try to be precise with your reports. Things like xxx doesn't work are going to be ignored. Thank you. EditOrgin has create an entry in the os4depot bug tracker for U-Boot. You can find it here

It might look something like THIS.
Nice Quote: Or it might not -- I'm not completely familiar with what OS4.1 can & cannot do.  You can basically specify a bitmap with an alpha channel. It isn't limited to rounded corners, you can even make a window look like it's a sheet off a college block/notebook for example, or give it a ragged top edge. Right now, you're limited to a bitmap for the title bar; the rest of the borders will come in an update, plus a few extra features like tintable bitmaps (so that the bitmaps you use can be re-colored on-the-fly to adjust to different color schemes).

Because that's the only one that can be installed in the RDB - just in case for some obscure reason the filesystem cannot be loaded from file.
saimo
Er... SFS is loaded with the kickstart. If one file in Kickstart cannot be loaded, then you have a much bigger problem than your SFS partitions. There are no obscure reasons whatsoever you would be able to boot at all but SFS would not load.

@lumby
The Classic version of AmigaOS 4.x always lagged behind the AmigaOne version. 4.1 for the classic hasn't been ruled out, as Xeron pointed out.
And it isn't like you would be running OWB comfortably on a classic, anyway.
