RAD: on AOS4.0

I'm using AOS4.0 Pre-release 4.
I can't figure out how to make a RAD:
I know how to do it on AOS1.3.3, which is alter the highcylinder (I think it was) in the mountlist file, then "mount RAD: from mountlist".
But there isn't a mountlist file anywhere here on the HD.
Can anyone tell me all the steps to do to make it please?

We all know the XE is a bit peculiar....
/speculation
RAID drives in striped mode write half the data on one drive, and half on the other, so, don't suppose that when it gets to 512 Megs of data stored in A1 XE ram, it wants to, for some unknown reason, write to a second sdram (which would also have to be 1 Gig) to, I don't know, balance the load, then after it reaches 512 Megs on that one, start again on the first?
Otherwise, is there any way to check the contents of address 0 to say address 1023, and see if it gets overwritten when it passes 512 Megs?
Of course, a small file would have to continually get duplicated in the ram disk: until 512 Megs is surpassed. At only 1 K of overwrite, the system still may be functional enough to see if the contents have been altered. This would only work if there are bytes in that address space that never change, for comparison purposes to see what's happening.
This may have all been done before, I've never read anywhere what the issues were about this problem.
PM me with some info please, if this is not something that is meant to be public. I'll keep it in confidence.
Like I said, maybe this is resolvable, like the sound chip problem was?

1 Gig sdram Saga

I bought a 1 Gig PC133MHz ECC Reg sdram.
I requested one with 36 ICs, but got an 18 IC one. Had to wait a week to get it.
I have an AmigaOne XE 800 MHz. I'm using pre-release 4, not final.
They said it would work, and would take it back if it didn't work, so I went for it.
Well, it don't work.
The UBoot knows that there is 1 Gig of ram there, and the computer booted up. It complained that I was running out of ram at the 256 Meg mark. Turns out UBoot has a variable that limits the amount of ram used.
I selected from the UBoot menu system "boot one time in this configuration" after changing the setting for UBoot to use 1 Gig of ram.
I started filling the ram disk with wav music files (30 to 80 Megs) and at the 380 meg mark, when I added a wav of 30 megs more, the system locked up.
A shell that was running the copy command froze. I could still type, but no commands would run, and the mouse pointer could move, but nothing would start, and I couldn't get any device icons to open.
Seems that, once it gets to 512 Megs, it starts writing to the first memory address again and up, until the OS is no longer functional.
So, is this what is the problem with these 1 Gig sdrams, or is it something else?
Like I said, I could run, as long as I didn't go over 512 Megs. Later today, I'm going to set it to 512 Megs and see how long I can go without crashing.
Is there no way to force it to NOT loop around and write onto address 0000 0000 and from there up again? The sound chip problem was circumvented after all.
I have no clue what the problem is, but it really looks like that's what's happening.
Avail generates what appear to be totally wrong numbers. Whatever Textclip: is, goes into 700 Megs.
If anyone wants some register dumps, just tell me how to get them out.

Hi magic, Aliens vs. Predator 1 was pretty bad.... not sure if even a rewrite with the same storyline could have helped it. Alien, Aliens, and Predator 1, woah! Love those films! A vs. P, I was intrigued that it was set in current day. Although, they interfered with the "Alien" by making it a mutating creature. What I'd like to see is an origin story.... Was that alien in the first movie that was transporting the eggs a courier? A peddler in peculiar found "goods", or an arms merchant. A scientist returning with collected specimens? Are "Aliens" biological weapons? Was he going to throw those on some new world to stop some other race from continuing to be? Are "Aliens" a genocide weapon? He seemed to know what he was doing considering they were in stasis, but one pesky one got loose, and we all know what happens then.  Remember the end of Predator 2 (which I thought was awful)? I wonder if their spiking that movie with that easter egg, if the movie implied, could work? Quote: magic wrote:
I personaly, cannot wait to see this even if it does turn out to be another bad flick. Yeah, I'm a sucker for these kinds of movies. Except for, MAN Resident Evil 2 was SO carp! I do not think I can stand to see another. CAN NOT WAIT for Spider-Man III and Fantastic Four II.... Even though FF1 was awful. Same with Hulk I. What I really want? 1. Crossovers. Superhero movie with characters from 2 different comics. Spider-Man and/or Doctor Strange and/or Ghost Rider. (That should give you an idea of what I mean.) (Marvel DC crossover?  ) 2. Authenticity! HATED Spider-Man (and others) for altering the original stories. (Doctor Doom WAS NOT CREATED like THAT!!!!!!!!! EVEN the CARTOON did it almost verbatim! Jugernaut a henchman? WHICH BUFFOON was responsible for THAT travesty?!?!) 3. X-Men the TV series.... How lame is that? 4. Why do these JUGHEADS live in a vacuum? How come they don't spike the local news with mysterious mayhem? Like "Bank vault destroyed, looks like freight train crashed through it", "Local robberies done by vanishing man wearing a cape and a fish bowl", or "Stark Labs victim of industrial espionage..... flying 'robot' spotted again".... 5. GENUINE stories. I would like to see some online poll by Marvel or DC Comics, where they ask "What are 15 top most popular stories from our comics, from inception to ~1985?" And then produce that!)

Thanks olsen.
Severin, thank you sooo much for getting my hard drive to appear and getting the partitions formatted on the IRC channel!!!!!!!!
Problem is solved.
There was something that I kept over looking that would have kept the hard drive from ever appearing on the workbench.

Hi Outcast,
Well, it's an EIDE hard drive.
I selected "no" when it asked me to proceed with the low level formatting.
It also asked where I wanted to save some file it generated, but didn't tell what I needed it for, or what it should be called. I didn't save it.
So, I went back to the partitioning part of Media Toolbox, got 4 partitions made, and thank goodness, the entire amount of HD space was still available....
It started me at DH4:, but I changed that to DH2:, because my first HD had DH0: and DH1:. So I made DH2:, DH3:, DH4:, and DH5:.
Then I formatted DH2: from the shell (that wasn't apparent that I had to do that from Media Toolbox), anyway, it couldn't put the trashcan on there.
Then info couldn't see it. I was told to reboot it, on IRC.
Still not there, HOWEVER, there is a linux install on my 1st hard drive, and now UBoot doesn't give me the option to boot into linux any more.
I don't know how many partitions are on my first HD, but could I have a DH_: naming conflict going on? I might have formatted Linux off of there??

Some progress!
Some time between 11 am Sun. (9 days, 18 hrs) and 3 am Mon. (10 days, 10 hrs) the hard drive light stopped flickering and now I have the following on the screen:
A requester appeared and this is what it says.
Title of requester "Secure disk blank function"
Text of requester:
"Are you sure you want to perform a secure blank operation on the WHOLE disk? ALL your data will be permanently lost, beyond any possible repair operation."
"Yes" "No"
What should I do? I thought it WAS doing the formatting already?!
It's a new disk, I don't have anything on there that will be lost.

So you have the slowest disk access method possible, on a really large disk, for which each block is rewritten seven times over, and each write operation results in a disk access which does not go through the write cache. Ouch. There really should be a "Cancel" button and a progress display in the partitioning tool. Hehe. Yes, unfortunately there isn't. But, I could see if they did not have a progress bar on say the first 2 passes, but did on the subsequent ones, making sense. I'm not sure if canceling would be safe to do? Half formatted and the rest not? Could that work out? I don't know. Quote: olsen wrote:

Hopefully, it's just not done yet??
Since you were trying to low-level format the drive anyway, what's the harm of rebooting the machine? It's not as you'd lose any data.
Incidentally, the "blanking" option was intended to make the data on the drive unrecoverable before you sell it or throw it away. It's not particularly useful in any other situation. Well, I thought it was necessary to get the Amiga OS file system on there. Here's the deal, say it's already formatted from the manufacturer, I figured it would be formatted to accept the most common operating system in the world, that being windos fat32 or ntfs. So it would have to be reformatted for AOS FFS or whatever other file system one wants to use. Hi TetiSoft, Thank you. I didn't know that. Hi Jack, I'm afraid of 1. Disrupting the progress done so far, and 2. Since the light is flickering, of the read/write head crashing if I cut the power and being destroyed and/or damaging the hard disk surface.

[Solved] HD Formatting Problem

I'm using AOS4.0 prerelese 4 (one before final). I'm in "Media Toolbox" "Lowlevel SCSI utilities". I created 4 partitions on a 320 Gig hard drive. Then I thought "better start from the ground, up" and decided to do a low level format. Under "fast partition erase" I saw the 4 partitions and thought, well there's an entry that says 'all disk, including RDB' ", then thought, "Why would I low level format only one partition. The other option in that box was "<all disk, including RDB>". I thought, "that's rather ambiguous, is it all the hard drives, or the one 'whole disk'?" Now, thinking about it, at the top only the 320 Gig HD is mentioned. Instead, I went for the "7-pass full disk blanking" option. Well, after I picked it, it says "Secure disk blanking..." in the grey rectangle below it, and the hard drive light is flickering. There's a grey box below that which has the word "Ready" in it. Have no clue what that means. There's no 'cancel' for obvious reasons, but, there's no progress bar either. That's okay, as this is trying to eliminate everything BUT, maybe, after pass 3, it should have a progress bar appear, and the option NOT to continue after the next pass? Anyway, things degrade from here. I could lose upto $400 over this (I wasn't expecting this to last this long). The low level formatting startred Mar. 22, ~4:30p.m.-5:00 P.m. It's now Mar. 31, 9:40 p.m. That's 9 days and 4 hours 40 minutes. Now, I anticipated it to be finished at ~Mar. 30, 1:35 p.m. At that point it was about 188 hrs and 30 minutes of formatting. There are 625,142,448 cylinders * 512 bytes = 320,072,933,376 bytes 320,072,933,376 bytes * 7 passes = 2,240,510,533,632 bytes I'm in PIO0 (that's zero. I don't know how to change it. I know it's done in UBoot, but that's harder to use than shell, and you should see how often I have to retype lines in shell trying to get it to do what I want, because I just can't get to grips with passing parameters to it properly. It's not easy to use at all.) PIO0 is 3.3 Megs a second max, that's how I got the ~188 hrs and 35 minutes that it should have taken to finish. I used the highest speed it could do to divide by, as my AmigaOne is not doing anything else. Well, it's still not finished as the hard drive light is still flickering. I know I shouldn't turn it off while it's read/writing. Any ideas as to what to do next? Hopefully, it's just not done yet??

Thing that annoys me is mainly Amiga Inc not doing ANYTHING to advance the platform, instead they are the MAIN REASON we are left without developers and users. Hi Troels Amiga Inc. has no funds to make a custom MB. How do I know? They didn't make one. There's the proof. I went to power.org. That place is a joke. I asked who has a MB available and the only people that did, were also the only people I'd rather open negotiations with the devil, before I talk to them. Apparently, TO THIS DAY ibm and motoyoyo have nothing in the way of a motherboard/support chips available for CPUs they would desperately like to see in millions and millions of homes. They're so pathetic. This is the FIRST AOS4.x friendly MB available, let's see what happens. Quote: Troels wrote:

Gee, wonder why they never told us they don't have a license? HOW could they ever have gotten one, considering they DO NOT have a motherboard anyhow?

Sounds very promising doesnt it? I wonder what stage the OS4 negotiations are in between Amiga Inc and Hyperion.

Hi jahc, "The porting of a number of Operating Systems has already begun." Let's just say, Amiga Inc. have no choice but to accept it. There just isn't anything else. Quote: jahc wrote:

I think it could be quite useful, for selected specialty tasks.

Hi Mikey_C,
I think that this will be "the straw that breaks the camel's back".
If Sam440 does not have AOS4.0 on it, about half will give up to the other side, or abandon completely the platform....
But Amiga has that certain hold on people, so you never know...
Anyway, as I posted in the news item, they said "range" and that is the key, as they said all of the currently available options AND.......
But they did not "fill in the blank".
So, there!
Sam440! AOS4.0!! The Survivor!!!
Hey, we have 440 members right now! Omen?

So, who is to blame for this sad decline? Well, many would say that the fault lies at with the man at the top Bill McEwen. But that would be a bit unfair to say it all lies with him? there are other factors and other individuals as well. The only HW vendor (that we know of) was unacceptable, for a myriad of reasons. Otherwise, Amiga Inc. has no HW by anyone other than what was produced by Eyetech that can be plugged into a wall and powered up, that they can evaluate, and accept or reject as something that could be granted a license and then Hyperion Entertainment could proceed with a port to it. All they are after is someone that will produce HW and do a one-to-one HW-AOS4.x deal (BTW, that is exactly THE ONLY REASON that bill guts is the richest man in the world today (ibm was too lazy to make an OS themselves). His products are a failure except due to market monopoly, so he succeeded in spite of that. I know this to be true, I lived through that era.). I really don't see this as being unreasonable. Know what? I would have held my ground the very same way. I guess, I am just as culpable of sinking Amiga too, it's just not my name in the headlines. Although, AmigaDE was a TOTAL waste of resources, they should have saved that for later and ANY FUNDS they had should have been spent on a joint venture to make a really good motherboard.

As for legal wrangling, it's all hush hush, and remember is there even one currently available motherboard that can be rejected? I think there isn't YET. The legal stuff to me "doesn't exist" (hands over ears "la la la la....") until somebody spills the beans... IF there's anything to it.

Hardware, which had better be available soon and running Amiga OS4, if not, I fear that before long, we?ll be down to a couple of hundred diehard Amigans throughout the world. That, then we can look forward to 4.2. Quote: Mikey_C wrote:
Amiga inc, Hyperion, ACube, Troika and the office pet should pull their fingers/paws out soon, because if not, there will be nothing left for them to argue over. I think that they're working with whatever money they have to do so. Quote: Mikey_C wrote:

Will the last Amiga user left please turn off the lights?
Mikey C Can my finger (and it will be my finger) reach the switch? (I'll use Professor Farnsworth's "finger extender". ) Amiga will continue......

xp pro doesn't have a ram disk.
The Mozilla Firefox pro clock for my timezone is one hour ahead and they've known about it since Nov. 2006. (It's 384 K in size, while many other add ons are merely 4K, I don't get it.)
When I'm in full page mode in Firefox (I downloaded a plugin that shows absolutely the whole page when you hit "F11") the page flickers (between the upper and lower browser information appearing and disappearing) if the page is wider than what your screen can display when you go to the bottom to slide it left or right.
I could go on and on and on.....
They say the grass is greener on the other side. HAH!

I think it is. It's price will keep it out of the mainstream and it will be leap frogged by: Wearable phones that look like jewelery and can play back mp3 will be the next hot item. Display you say? I think that watches and wristband devices like the one Leela of Futurama wears will take over. Bigger displays will be iPaq like devices. All will interface through Bluetooth, or something like it. Watch or wristband display for picking who to call, photos, videophone, etc. The technology I miss is Virtual Boy, BUT add Bioluminesence THAT was a cool look!!! (Virtual Boy was stuck with red only.) Oh well, I don't lose anything if I'm wrong. Whew, that's a load off my mind!
