The A1222 doesn't need much cooling.
I have a beta system and it was supplied with a super tiny fan that was quite loud.

I can't remember what i replaced it with as it's been a few years since i did it but probably a 40 or 60mm noctua fan and a 3d printed fan adaptor.

Hi @elfpipe

Can you tell us more about your AHi-settings maybe?

For a well working system it's important to set a good mode for Unit 0 and for the music unit to set it to unit 0.

I'm currently using the emu10x driver happily but i also tested some other cards in my X5000.
Sadly i did not test the hdaudio-driver before it was removed from os4depot but afaik i'm happy with my soundblaster live or whatever it's called that i'm using.

Here's screenshots from my settings.

Resized Image

I'm not using the enhancer sound preference program as it did not work when i tested it for the first time a few years ago and it might still suck so avoid it.

I never had any luck with creating multiple kick layouts when I tried before but things have moved on in qemu now so I can try in there before going anywhere near the x5000. Great advice!

To have multiple kicklayouts on your X5000 simply just open up the Kickstart/kicklayout file in an texteditor, copy all the lines and paste them at the end of the file.
Goto the line that begins with the "LABEL" keyword and change it into something like "LABEL Amigaos 4.1 with broken usb"

next time you hardreset your X5000 amigaboot will allow you to select two kicklayouts to boot from.
One with the original name and one with the name "Amigaos4.1 with broken usb"

(The amigaboot menu will not appear if the u-boot variable amigaboot_quiet is set to 'y'

In quiet mode it simply boots the chosen/best/first (whatever) configuration.

When booting with multiple kicklayouts works you can simply just change the lines for the modules you would like to experiment with to make them load from another place, like Kickstart/testing/ehci.usbhcd

There are two types of key caps for the A500, make sure you get the correct one.

@MamePPCA1

if version can't find smartfilesystem then it's not loaded into memory when the kickstart is loaded so you have to fix that

If your partitions is SFS formated it's very important that your's usb boot media contains the "updated" sfs that supports the X5000.

I didn't think of this. Is the format changed? Most of my X1000 partitions are in SFS and would have been formatted before I installed Enhancer. So, would newer SFS be backwards compatible? But a newer SFS formatted volume be incompatible with an older SFS?

In this case if Enhancer has been applied to HDD but not recovery drive then that's simply a broken recovery and totally useless! This should have been tested before the machine was sent off from the dealer.

The format has not changed, it's just that the "old" sfs does not support new machines like tabor and X5000 so for you it will be safe.

But it's sure a little bit complicated for X5000 customers atm as they need to know how to prepare their own emergency boot pendrive if they want to run a better filesystem than what was offered when the latest os4.1 iso was shipped in case they run into problems.

A-eon has created a great emergency boot iso for the tabor, they should do it for the X5000 too.

This thread is a mess to follow so sorry if i'm pointing out something that's already been talked about or if i miss some information.

If your partitions is SFS formated it's very important that your's usb boot media contains the "updated" sfs that supports the X5000.

The OS4 cd does not have it for sure so you can not boot from it and access any SFS partitions.

I have no idea what this "pendrive" that you talks about contains but it does for sure sounds like it also does not have the correct version as the behaviour sounds like how SFS partitions would behave if wrong version was loaded.

@utri007

Do you have the radeonhd entry in your kicklayout?
iirc os4 for the sam440 does not have it by default but other systems where a radeonhd is expected to run have it and the radeonhd-lite driver.

Hi!

I will send you an mail and ask for the tools.
But IMHO tools like this doesn't deserve to be buried in a forum post even if the output probably is only readable for people with insight, they should be available online on os4depot or similar :)

I still have a peg2, although it's mostly collecting dust since upgrading to X5000 & Tabor.

I've had it for a long time and the drivers works fine afaik.
There is ONE problem tough, maybe it's driver related?
When using warp3d there can sometimes be heard a beeping sound from the soundcard.

Like in this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2Eb9RQFTBw

At ~8s & ~30s etc into the video.

It took me several years before i noticed it, but then i often don't have speakers connected.

@cloverskull

Before you go trough this "pain" of setting up a new hdd with NGFS.
Have you been in contact with Tony Wyatt and recieved a later version of NGFS than the official release?

I know he's been helping alot of X5000 owners to upgrade from the early version that was shipped with X5000 but i guess there must be someone left.

@Lio

The idea with the vsata.device and p50x0sata.device was that the vsata.device is used to talk to the OS via mounter.library and allows file systems to do their thing. The p50x0sata.device driver will be used by lower level tools.

@Olle

Ohh that fear when sfs reports about problems

I'm very glad to hear that you could save the precius sources

IMHO there is no better option than SFS for OS4.1 fe today.
Generally it's a stable file system but when things go wrong there is no cure.

I can't remember ever having any problems with sfs on ng amigas but for a while it was quite common to happen on one of my classics a long time ago and it turned out that the harddisk was dying.

So maybe replacing the harddisk is a good idea in case that is the problem?

I have to correct you a little bit there.
Finaleditionupdate2hotfix.lha is for the ones who downloaded finaleditionupdate2 early as there was some mistakes there.

So the correct steps is update1 and then update2.

The original update 2 package has been updated since then.

I would not be suprised if Olle is still using OS4.1 (not FE) as he's been away for some years and that changes in OS4.1 FE makes this old code not function as expected anymore.

I have good news regarding the warpsnes sources.

Per responed to me on facebook.
He still have the sources and will try to resurrect his amigaone and have a look at the sources and fix an archive he can send to steffen or maybe even try to fix some of the stuff mentioned here.

Let's see if he steps in here himself later on and gives us good news

@walkero
That zuluscsi seems nice, i want one!

Is the drive working in synchronous or asynchronous mode when benchmarking the drive?

If asynchronous you might gain alot of speed if you set it to synchronous.
The speed increase for me with a real scsi-drive was quite huge.

There is a tool to set the mode supplied in the P5 scsi tools disk that came with the scsi-kit.
