Mediator 4000Di Help Please

[spudje]

I also had this "NO PCI cards recognized"-problem recently.
Un-plugging and re-plugging the power connector on the Mediator did the trick.
The contacts seemed to have been oxidised...

Since I don't have access to my A4000 now, where is this located? On the logic board?

I've finally managed to get my Mediator to work. The issue was some of the libraries I was loading with LoadModule - layers.library, graphics.library, utility.library and dos.library all from don_adan on eab. Removing those from my s-s solved the problem I was having with constant hangs when launching the voodoo monitor driver or loading Picasso96prefs.

Are these libraries staying in memory after warm reboots and may that be the cause for Autoconfig issues only after reboot and not cold power on?

Oh wait, I remember, I got my hopes up for nothing. I even got issues when simply powering up without HDD, waiting a few minutes with the kickstart screen and then rebooting again and still running into problems.

Never mind, that's a different mediator. I got confused, hadn't seen any power connector on the 4000Di

Very very similar behaviour as I am facing. In my case it was pretty "consistent". Always worked when booting from powering on the machine. Not working when rebooting with CTRL-Amiga-Amiga. Mine is now on its way back to Elbox for repair.

Maybe refer to others with similar issues if you contact Elbox. I had confirmation they received my card, hopefully they get it fixed soon.

I simply mailed to their info email address.

The issue can be easily tested even without a hdd. Turn on Amiga go to early startup menu and see boards --> mediator shows up. Wait a bit, 30 to 60 seconds, warm reboot, go to early startup menu again and no more mediator in boards screen

I haven't heard any progress yet from elbox on my board repair.

I just got a mail my mediator is repaired and will be shipped. Fingers crossed.

[spudje]

Yes!!! It works now, also after a reboot!!! So, I can continue exprimenting with AOS4.1 first and then putting the Sonnet in.

I have no clue. If I don't forget I'll ask them by email.
