I have installed os 3.9 on to my HD through amithlon but i dnt know how to make it boot up :-?

You can download the instructions (png format) from Aminet at:
http://aminet.net/package/docs/help/AMIthlon_setup2
or go to the source (pdf format) located at:
http://www.a1k.org/forum/index.php?mode=viewthread&forum_id=22&thread=19
I used these instructions to install Amithlon onto my hard drive with dual-boot (Amithlon/Windows XP). Works real nice.
-
Im not doing dual boot i want my system to be a amithlon
-
No-one said you should.
-
How do i make my system just boot Amithlon?

Perhaps you can give us a little more specific information as to what steps you're having problems with.

Is your graphics card supported under amithlon?
-
I dont think so its a Nvidia gefore 3 Ti500 but i have a Nvidia 440MX also tell me if any/both are suported

You could check out the latest Amithlon kernal from Gary Colville at: http://www.garycvl.f2s.com/amithlon.html
He has a compatibility list for video cards, sound cards, NIC's and motherboards.
-
That didnt help sorry.
-
to have a PC with only Amithlon system there are 2 way:
1) you must boot with amithlon cdrom
This is the easy way..:)
2) the other way is to make a little partion with msdos and install here the commands to start amithlon from here, but i reccomend you to read this site (http://amithlon.free.fr/~amigabest/english/frame_en.htm)

Yes, Geforce 3 ti is support very well in native mode: full 2D
hardware acceleration..
Great card on Amithlon :D

How can i get it to work in 32bit display with my Ti because it says not enough graphics mem

I have been looking on the internet and i says something about QNX 6.1. What does QNX 6.1 do?? and i havent installed that with my amithlon. Do you think that might be the reason?

No QNX has nothing to do with Amithlon even if it was sold on the same CD. It's part of AmigaXL which was essentially a different product.
I don't know whether Amithlon will work in 32-bit with your graphics card, but if it will it will certainly have to be with Gary Colville's kernel. It certainly won't with the original kernel.
You should perhaps join the mailing list at the Amithlon-open Yahoo Group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amithlonopen) and ask your questions there. It might help if you also give a little more information as to what is happening than you have here. It's not easy to work out what is happening when someone just says "it's not working", or "I've read that and it doesn't help".

have you installed amithlon update 1.29 from aminet?
i used 16 bit screen with a S3 Trio 3D with 4 MB of VRAM :P
without amithlon_update you have problem to use video card in correct way.
And you have to update original kernel to Geforce 3 ti kernel.
You find it on aminet :)
-
how do i install that update and how do i update the kernal?

This entire thread does not contain a single instance of the words "please" or "thank you" :roll:

If he doesn't know what QNX is, it's safe to assume he downloaded it, instead of purchasing it. It came with *TWO* CDs, not one. :roll:
Granted, my *BOXED* version is classified as "illegal", I paid for its use.
Where's Piru, when we need him? *snort* :lol:
@ Moto
Well, he said please in a PM he sent me, asking for the AC97 mixer. Too bad I have no interest in the Amiga anymore. ;-)
[EDIT]
PLEASE, MOTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PRETTY PLEASE, WITH CAKES, BISCUITS, CHIPS, TEA and all that other English stuff on top!!!!!!! :roflmao:

Oh yes so F-U-C-K-I-N-G funny!!!!!!
I thought this Site was to help people!!
Oh and you dont think ive tried that do you??
Thats my bloody home page and i looked there first!!!
But no good if you "decent" people could help me.
Oh and stop being a F-U-C-K-I-N-G T-W-A-T McVenco!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, here's how you perhaps should have worded your original request:
¨I have installed Amithlon but am having problems getting it to boot. Please could somebody give me some help? Thanks in advance.¨
This probably would have resulted in a more helpful response than just saying ¨How do i make my system just boot Amithlon?¨. Then when somebody suggested you read the documentation, and even provided links, you just replied ¨I have¨. Not very polite. A better response would have been something like ¨Thanks for links. I have read the sections on installing the bootloader but I'm still having problems¨.
When you got it working, you didn't even follow up to say how. You just came back with more demands: ¨How can i get it 2 be 32bit colour?¨ How about ¨thank you for the advice so far. I finally managaed to get the system to boot. I did this by.......¨
Then if you still needed help with the video, ¨I'm now having problems getting it to display in 32 bit. Can anyone point me towards some documentation to assist with this please?¨, and also ¨my video card is X. Does anyone know if this is supported by Amithlon?¨, not just demand ¨tell me if any/both are suported¨!!!
Coming back and insulting people who have tried to help you when they get annoyed with your attitude is even worse.
You are clearly socially inept and totally impolite, which is why nobody wants to help you.

Well I thought you needed a wild cat or a bucket of lava thrown in your face. But now that you've apologized like I knew you were going to, I'll forget the whole thing :pint:
