Re: SAm469 LE sudeden network drops

I have exactly the same problem and on MorphOS no problems with network as well!
It doesn't matter which browser is used (but updating to IBrowse 3.0a is recommended anyway).

It is interesting that amiganuts doesn't have this issue with his old HDD. Maybe you can spot all differences in the configurations and test it with your new setup?

Re: Power supply for SAM460LE?
Just popping in
Just popping in


I use a 300W ATX PSU in an Inter-Tech IM-1 Pocket mATX. It's still enough for some power consuming older GPUs. If you use a modest RX550, a 200W SFX PSU will surely be sufficient.

This is my SAM460LE

The cables can be hidden better, but since I change GPUs for MorphOS and AmigaOS, it is tedious to order the cables every time.

I managed to get a SiI3114 card and the freezes are gone! What an annoying issue, but finally I can enjoy my SAM460! Sad that this wasn't mentionend in the manual, it could've saved me lots of nerves...
MorphOS runs super stable, but on AmigaOS I still experience some software related issues like stopping internet access after a few minutes of web browsing. I will ask for these issues in different threads.

Glad to see there are some more Sam460LE owners here.

I have stability issues with my Sam460LE and maybe someone here can help me troubleshooting.
I have a Si3112 card with one HDD attached. I set up a nice dual boot for AOS4.1 and MorphOS.
On both OSes, the system freezes randomly!
I ran memtest on MorphOS, but my RAM seems the be fine. And SFSDoctor says that my Filesystem structure is correct.
I don't think it's a temperature problem, I left the case open and tested with a pedestal fan.
I tested with different GPUs, no difference.
Can my PSU be faulty? It has 300W and should be more than enough for this system and one of my GPUs is a modest RX550...
I also supspect my SATA card. How likely is it, that this could be the culprit?
Any idea that narrows down the error source is greatly appreciated! Can you also recommend any tools for stress testing, etc.?

Re: AmigaOS 4 does not boot anymore after installing the RadeonHD V5 driver

Thank you very much for your support so far Hans, as I hopefully supported you by buying the driver.

The SAM460 takes only one GPU, so I was switching them.

I totally forgot the lite driver from the installation CD... Yeah that worked :) Finally I was able to install the driver from Enhancer 2.2 again. But the java based AmiStore is a great idea, too! Good to know and surly be handy in the future!

I hope within the next Enhancer release, the driver installation will be more failure-proof ;)

I thought the ; is for commenting out, that's why the confusion.
Edit: @joerg thanks for clarifying, that's what I was thinking!

I have a Sapphire Pulse RX 550 GPU and also a PowerColor X1950 Pro which I now tested. With both GPUs the OS won't load anymore.
So, when the V5 driver drops functionality for older GPU's like this X1950 card, wouldn't it be great to have also the V3 drivers as a fallback than overwriting them?
For example, one could have RadeonHDv3.chip and RadeonHDv5.chip as well as RadeonRX.chip and ATIRadeon.chip, so that upon boot the suitable driver will be loaded!

So in my case, I either need to overwrite the V5 driver with a V3 driver from Enhancer or get a Southern Islands card from Ebay...

Do you mean > in front of MODULE or after MODULE?
like this? MODULE > kickstart/RadeonHD.chip
And what does the > do?

I've looked into the installer script:
"The driver supports ATI(TM) Radeon(TM) X1000 series and Radeon(TM) HD 2000 - 6000 series graphics cards."

The ABOUT section of the README is a bit more precise:
"It supports everything from the Radeon HD 2000 series
(R600 chipsets) through to the Radeon HD 7000 series (Southern Islands
chipsets). It also supports some Radeon Rx cards. Older Radeon X1300-X1950
graphics cards (R500 chipsets) are supported as well, although these are not
recommended."

So according to this, my GPU should work!

But then there is also written the following:
"Additional information can be found on the Radeon HD driver Wiki at:
http://wiki.amiga.org/radeonhd"

I opened the link and in the wiki you can read:
"From Version 5, the RadeonHD driver only supports Southern Islands chipsets such as the RadeonHD 7770, R7-240 and R7-250."

This is very messed up documentation! Why isn't this text written in the installer or the readme? This could have saved me a lot of trouble!

Re: AmigaOS 4 does not boot anymore after installing the RadeonHD V5 driver

Yes very strange indeed. That would mean, one cannot switch to other GPUs after installation...

Yes I can access my HDD by booting via AmigaOS CD.
The radeonHD.chip is v5.14 and radeonRX.chip is v2.12, as expected. Both drivers are listed in the kicklayout.

Any idea, why this driver update made my system unbootable? After the Uboot loader, the display just stays white...
Any more suggestion what else I can try?

AmigaOS 4 does not boot anymore after installing the RadeonHD V5 driver

As the title says, my system (SAM460LE) doesn't boot anymore after I installed these V5 drivers.
I have a Radeon RX GPU installed, so I didn't need to update the HD drivers in the first place...
But the Enhancer Software already updated those drivers as well to V2.12, so I didn't expected any problems! (And the V5 driver will also be included in future Enhancer releases)

The problem is, I am not able to downgrade the RadeonHD.chip v5.14 driver to the one from the Enhancer 2.2 since I can only download it on a working AmigaOS 4 system (purchased it digitally on AMIStore).

Or is there any other possibilty I can try? Because the older RadeonHD.chip and the RadeonRX.chip drivers already coexisted previously... Whant prevents the system to use the RadeonRX.chip drivers instead?

Re: Who is getting the A1222 Plus?

IIRC, the final price will be significantly higher than the Early Adopter pre-order which I sadly missed.

But since it won't be a quantum leap to a Sam460, I am not that interested anyway.

Re: Sam 460 LE news

So sad to hear about these delays due to broken network chips.
Realizing hardware projects and producing small batches of hardware has become tremendously harder nowadays for small companies and they all have to face big problems like very long delivery times or inaccurate or wrong implemetation of the specifications at the suppliers. While the engineering is mostly excellent, you have to be very patient and pain resistant to have the final product ready to send to the eagerly waiting customers...
Nevertheless, I'm really looking forward for future projects like the partnership with A-EON for the A1222 Plus.

@Mozzerfan

Thanks for the link, maybe I'll find some clues.

And I'll check out morph.zone for help.

I already got his replay but he says that the device ID of my GPU is already supported at least since 2019...

I have a PowerColor X1950 Pro Extreme which was a very famous GPU back then so this is not surprising.

However, that was a good shot but still did not solve my problem :(

Of course, I could try another supported GPU, but the question will stay the same: Why is it not working with this card? (And there's still the possibility that the problem is something else and and I will get the same blank screen with another GPU).

Edit: I got also got the information from him that if MorphOS boots but doesn't find any supported GPU, you'll get this on the serial port:

!!! OpenScreen(): Could not find any valid modeids. No graphics card? !!!

Since that's not the case I can assume it's not a GPU issue!

Re: Sam460LE 1.10 Ghz Pre-Order!
Just popping in
Just popping in


Does anyone here has any experience with MorphOS on the Sam460? I can't install MorphOS because it doesn't boot neither via CD nor SD card. This is what I get from the serial terminal:

MorphOS boot loader version 1.10
Booting from HDIMG0
Trying to load "bootsam_ppc4x0.img" from "HDIMG0:"...
Loaded "bootsam_ppc4x0.img" from "HDIMG0:", booting...

So Uboot recognizes MorphOS on the boot media and tries to execute it, but it looks as if the installer either stops right after "booting..." or it just isn't displaying via my GPU. I have a Radeon X1950 XT which is supported by MorphOS. I tried both DVI ports but all I get is a blank screen after the ACube logo vanishes.

Any suggestions or ideas what the problem is?
