Title: OS4 Installation Problems
Post by: jd997uk on April 01, 2004, 10:00:23 AM
Hi.

I received my OS4 CD this morning, but I'm having problems with the installation process.

The installer starts up, but after about 30 seconds or so I get a fail message "Error 010404 cannot find correct Locale"

Anyone else had this problem? Since it's a clean install, could there be a setting I've set incorrectly in the BIOS?
Or could the disk be corrupt?

-john :-?

Error 010404 cannot find correct Locale -

RTFM for gods sake, look here it is:

Error #010404 "cannot find correct Locale %L"
When the user experiences this error the minor code reported will indicate the exact fault and how to correct it:
0x01 - Leyline imbalance, use your divining rod and find a position where the AmigaOne is aligned perfectly with Stonehenge.
0x02 - Bad case design, install your A1 in another case, preferably a green one.
0x03 - Its dark down here, move the A1 into the light.
0x04 - Too close to competitor, move the A1 into its own room, away from the interloping box.

If none of these correct the problem, contact LeatherAndHeels.com for a full refund.

Hi JD,

I had the same problem. Try to turn on "FastMemFirst" before you try to install. It's a problem with the chip memory of the AmigaOne.

Hope this helps!

Strange, I have installed OS4 on my AmigaOne without any problem. :-P

Are you sure that you installed the latest Uboot upgrade?

Hi JD,

no problem here on a Zilog 80 system

Have you checked the color of your sockets?

Ciao :-)

Why do you bother with this ancient OS?

Get yourself a copy of OS5.4, besides most jaw-dropping eye-candy it will provide better support for your G5 (all 8G of RAM will appear on your workbench bar).

Have you tried...

Damn! It's after mid-day! I should have visited earlier!

See here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3589239.stm) for some April-fools stories that turned out to be true! I particularly like the one about the chickens in nuclear landmines!!! :lol:

For a hoax of a more serious matter, check this site
out: Micheal's Computer (http://www.michaelscomputers.com)

Tom's hardware also has an article about this guy:

Oh, BTW: I have hacked my machine to use 16MB of chipram!
It is even faster than fastram.  I can now run Megaball v8 :lol:

What Uboot?

I have no problem at all here installing Os4 CD in a Pegasos G3. :-D

Did you have run the "NoFastMem" prog in SYS:Tools?

Hope this helps

I have the same problem like you on my Pegasos.

The only solution I found was trashing my OS4 CD and installing the last MOS1.5.42 It rocks :-)

AmigaOS 4.0 Beta it's out ??

Yeah Dude. Sure its out.

You didnt recieved the Os4 CD by DHL this morning, with the One, CSPPC, BPPC and Pegasos 1 version?

Framiga said that he had installed his in a Z80 system, but I think its not from the official Os4 CD but the Contribs section.(I have heard it must be a DUAL Z80 system anyway)

Check your mailbox guy...

Oh, to get the packet you must be "Amiga Lifetime member" and have already recieved the famous T-shirt (in order to confirm your address) :roflmao:

I`ve just come off the phone tonight from stellar dreams, and they said o.s4.0 aint out yet, and i`ve got a nice shiney g4/a1 sat in the corner, while i battle on line with my z4/a12060.

So much for joining the Amiga Club :-?  didny get that rather snazy t-shirt they promised either.

No wonder im fealing blue :-(

@Mucker:

Frustrating, isn't it?

I'm typing this on my A1 just now. It has a horrible display, due to the version of the linux kernel I'm using not liking my Radeon 8500.

Fortunately I have a Pegasos too but I can't wait to get OS4.

Was there something on that disk before? If it had AmigaOS on it, make sure to wipe ANY filesystem from the RDB. That might be causing your problem.
