OS4 Install
« on: June 20, 2005, 03:44:46 PM »
I have finally managed to update my U-Boot just the other week.

I have followed the OS4 installation guide found on the website.

Below is section 3:

Insert the AmigaOS4.0 Developer pre-release CD in your CDROM drive. At the UBoot "]" prompt type:

ide reset
setenv boot1 cdrom
boota

You will notice the AmigaOS4.0 kernel modules will begin loading from the Developer pre-release CD.
It should look like this:-    


Once the kernel (kickstart) has loaded, your screen will go blank and your monitor may go onto standby.
The CD drive is still being accessed at this point, after about one minute you will be presented with a welcome message on a White background.


It shows that the kickstart is loading, but when it comes to section 4, my screen goes blank, then comes back on with what looks like the workbench screen but it all fuzzy and difficult to make out - I should have the Welcom to OS4 requester but don't.

HELP!!! :-?

I'm using the original pre-release of OS4.

Yes I'm using a Radeon.

And no I'm using the UBoot update that came with the pre-release.

I have no clues what to do.

Unsure as to which Radeon card is being used.

But have just tried it on another monitor and still it looks like a fuzzy version of the Workbench desktop.

No sign of the Welcome message on a white background, not even a fuzzy version of it.

Please, any other ideas?

 :cry:

I mean I have only just been able to update UBoot after nearly a year of having my AmigaOne.

Don't have any other graphics card, is there another way to correct this heatwave effect :-?

I am losing patience and may just go back to using a PEECEE.

I'd rather not have to take such drastic action, but what the heck.

I am interested, but like you said it is a long way to travel.

And on Saturday I work until 11.45, so making it would be difficult (it would take me 1 and a half hours to get there.

Thanks but sorry not this time :-(

I have found the ISO and copies onto a CD on my PC.

I have opened UBoot 1.0.0.

Where do I go from here :-?

I managed to download the ISO and burnt it to a CD, but how to I get it on my AmigaOne?

Do I have to get it on through Linux or through the BIOS?

Please help as I no nearer to solving the problem.

I have managed to upgrade UBoot to version 1.1.1., but still when it comes to installing OS4 I get the heatwave effect and can't see what I am doing.
