@ all
Merry Christmas, and happy New Year 2026, good health, wealth and happiness

I downloaded the update direct from HYperion and installed it after unpacking on my X5040 enhanced and had no problems booting, I did encounter crrashing of Netsurf which Chris rectified very quickly, but all my disks were accessible without any issues. I have since noticed several programs no longer work however, i.e. ScummFM and Timberwolf. i get GR's from them now.

I'm using a sil3114 pci-e sata raid card very happily on my X5000

thanks, i'll try that. i do have a second backup but that is on a partition in my second hard drive, only secure if i can access it when a fault occurs though.

@nbache
hadn't noticed before you said, total occupied size of 3 partitions is 132Gb
but backup disk says 55.5 gb used 12% full
on a 500Gb stick that reads correct but the info that has been copied is a lot more
checked sizes with directory opus and all info matches size for size.
only thing i did do different was use NGF filetype when i set up the drive as opposed to sfs2.

I recently bought a USB-c M.2 (NGFF&NVMe)2 in1 storage module off Temu for a penny. I also bought a 500Gb stick to go with it, thinking it would make a good backup. I am pleased to report that it works fine on my machine both before and after update 3.

@ all
I think that the overall experience with with update 3 on my X5000 is positive, considering the multitude of different machines and setups most bugs have been fairly easy to overcome. For example i was dreading not being able to boot at all and had made several backups beforehand. Amidvd still doesnt work but if it is a licensing issue that is understandable, Candi does not appear to work but i am not missing it. the machine appears to be more stable, and mouse works every time once workbench loaded, before the usb used to run through 20 odd different setttings until it connected.
i Have not tried my A1XEG4 yet, iam still waiting for the daughterboard fix.
A big thankyou to all the developers and coders involved.

@ Chris

thanks Chris, netsurf on my x5k was also inop, at least it loaded but would not load any websites, downloaded your latest ci bundle and it works fine, thanks.
not sure why update3 would have affected it whilst Ibrowse and Odyssey were unaffected??

Hi Andy, welcome to amigans, home of sensible answers to any techie question. Midlands is still North for me

@ Digital Designs

purchased , thanks for your work, will try it out asap

@ all'
thankyou for the info, much appreciated

@daveyw
thanks for your reply, it explains the boot hang-up, i am surprised that it is the only library on the system disk which is 68k, all others are ppc. Maybe it just doesnt port

it may have been asked before, but can someone explain to me why rexxsyslib.library is the only 68k library in libs according to sysmon?
if i move it into storage the OS wont startup
plain English would be appreciated, thanks in advance

MorphOs are using it , they are claiming it as their usb stack of choice on their latest update 3.19. i dont know if they are bundleing it as open source within their OS

seems to work fine here with both my HP envy 5020 printers, thankyou for your hard work. I am always in awe of you guys finding ways to access modern hardware with such pleasing results.

not too many,

Netsurf
Amiphoto
finaldata

Odyssey
Ibrowse
ScummVM
Emotion

"Today has no big sense to try PCIe HD card on AmigaOne XE.
It works, but problem is that new RadeonHD drivers mostly not works with XE"

Bummer :{

It is a shame that XE hardware is proving to be so unconfigurable :{

ok thanks for your replies, problem is now sorted. i had the sii3112ide.device.kmod un commented. i found out that this was due to the usb external hd. !!! yep go figure, any way when i commented that out and uncommented the sii3114ide.dvice.kmod the pci card got recognised and so did the hd's.
i will see why 3112 operated the external usb hd, with a spare hd that i have yet to test.
as for the glue i can understand connector security or even warranty protection but i draw the line at the ram sticks.

first of all i dont know much about x5000 since i have only just obtained one. i want to add a couple of sata hd's i have connected the sata3114 pci to pci-e card and it shows up on ranger with all its functions but the HD does not appear at all. is there some line i have to add to uboot to recognise the card correctly? i have tried to obtain the hardware manual from a-eon but i am unable to register either the machine or get past the downloads for my A1XEG4 on my existing amisphere account. should i also open a second amisphere account for the x5000?
Also is it normal for all the connectors to be covered in hotglue?

sorry i have been out of circulation for a while, life, or rather lack of it, got in the way.
