Setting up BVision PPC & CyberGraphX

@Castellen:

This is the last Flash Update by Phase5.

I have a CSPPC + CVPPC which should be more or less when equal to your setup, but I have never had any problems with installing nor upgrading CGX v4 under OS3.9.

Right now I am using CGX v4 with the V4.3 rc5 upgrade, so I dont know how well the latest MorphOS-adapted rc6 update works.

Btw, CGXMode is really nice, you can create new screenmodes by just selecting from a list of predefined modes with timings per the VESA specs, which makes it very easy and quick to create good screenmodes.

@Castellen:

I just remembered that I had a somewhat similar issue once:

I was about to install CGX v4 on my A2000. At that time it had no CD-ROM, but it had a network card, so I put the CGX v4 CD in my linux box (the cd-drive on the linux box is shared with samba) and mounted it on the A2000 with smbfs. The installation went fine and after a reboot CGX v4 was up and running.

Anyhow, when I tried to install the 4.3 rc5 upgrade, it failed when patching some files for an to me unknown reason - I even tried executing the patch lines manually in a shell without success. For some reason, the patch-utility just didnt want to work normally when accessing the CGX v4 CD as a smbfs networked volume.

It ended up in the A2000 being equipped with a CD-ROM to be able to successfully install the 4.3 rc5 upgrade .

It got me thinking - can it for some wierd reason have anything to do with the CD-ROM driver/device/filesystem?

Just for the record, when installing the upgrade on the A2000 I used a SCSI CD-ROM with the stock WB3.1 L:CDFileSystem and on the A4000 I have used an IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM and the Atapi PNP package.
