Now I have tried the harddrive with my A1200 again, and it was spotted immiately. So its no malfunction with the harddrive. However I have an older harddrive with FFS with some of the stuff I want to transfer, and it was found at once (with OS4.1)..

Strange..

Hi. Finally I got myself a PPC-hardware that supports OS4.1 (its a PEG2) and now I have been running OS4.1 for one week, and I am very happy with it.

Before I got this hardware I used mainly OS3.9 with my 68060/PPC Amiga. With that computer I had a 20 gb harddrive filled with nice stuff. Now for my question.

The harddrive that I used with my classic Amiga had SFS/0 680x0 and was quite fast. I have tried to connect it to my OS4.1 installation, cause I want to transfer lots of things to my new system. However OS4.1 doesnt seem to recognize the harddrive. In media toolbox the harddrive appears as uninitizalized (and I do not want to install the harddrive as it probably would destroy 20 years of Amiga-stuff)..

How can I get OS4.1 to recognize the drive?

Thanks in advance

@Cyborg

No! I am not sure anymore, that it is the RTL driver, it might very well be something else too...

But mostly it happens when I am online and surfing the net, but it has happened with requesters f.i. who isnt using the network..

@Chris

Hmmm I have tried that little tool.. It seems to make the system more stable, but the problem is still there.. I am going back to OS3.9 for a while now..

@All

This report is after whats normally happens.. I write one line in f.i. wookiechat, press return, and then the gui locks.. Tunenet still plays music, clock still ticking, but I couldnt press any icons, nor write anything .. Harddrive seems to be working normal..

Ok! I have reinstalled OS4 and uppdated with February updates.. The problem still is there, from time to time.. sometimes he can go for several hours and sometimes just a few minutes..

Ill try do as suggested, I will reinstall OS4 Classic today on an empty harddrive with the February update.. And Ill come back to you with a crashlog later on..

@Cyborg

I dont get a crashlog, the system doesnt "Crash" in regular meaning... The GUI seems to lock, I cant press any icons or write anything in f.i. Wookiechat, but I can still move the mousepointer and the harddrive seems to be working...

@Cyborg

Yes! My mistake..

@Cyborg

...rd and when data was transfered I got a strange crashes, even when using the new RTL8029 driver...

The networkcard I am using is a "Group-tek 9821" with RTL9029AS onboard chip

It has been quite a long time since I used OS4 Classic. I had some problem with stability with the networkcard and when data was transfered I got a strange crashes, even when using the new RTL8029 driver.

I dont know if it is the driver that causes it or if my NIC isnt compatible enough..

MY question is.. Is it possible to do a "remake" of the original OS4 Classic cd and merge february update into it.. Is it possible to make a new Boot-disk with the latest rom-update?

Anyway, I am gonna try to reinstall it all with a new harddrive..

Thanks in advance..

Nice! Let us here about the goodies now... screenshot screenshot screenshot :D
