Boot issue
« on: December 27, 2016, 11:15:07 AM »
i've got an A590 connected to my A500.
I also have a scsi ZIP drive connected to de a590.

It works fine, but it gives some trouble with a cold start.
I get de purple disk boot logo instead of booting up from de hdd.
With a warm reset it boots fine.
Is it possible to fix this bug and how?

Sounds like it could be a slow spin-up issue with your hdd. Was that same configuration working okay before today?

No, got this "problem" from the beginning.

There should be a jumper on the 590 to increase the startup delay - precisely so that slow drives have time to spin up. But then you'll have to deal with the delay on a warm boot as well.

In addition to 3.1, consider bringing your 590's ROMs up to v7.

I'll have a look on this. If i remember correct, it already has rom v7
