A1XE : cpu fan not running, no video output

[Rogue]

Lacking PCI reset is a bug of the motherboard.

The board has a PCI reset, and the firmware triggers it, unless one happens to have a very old revision of the firmware, in which case it can be updated.

I've never heard about such a problem.

The only problem that I am aware of is that the Linux kernel doesn't properly trigger the reset, but that is a software problem, and outside of my area of expertise.

But still no video output

Radeon 7xxx should work. What exactly happens? Hang during graphics card init, or a "VGA: OK" and still no display.

What revision (date) of the firmware do you have? The recent update fixed a problem with certain brands of 7000's not working.

U-boot 0.1.1 (Apr 3 2003 - 14:44:24), Build: 04/03/03

Try the latest build of the firmware from the A1G3dev's file area. It is known to fix some issues with certain brands of Radeon hardware.

sorry to be dumb but where is the file area ?

Write me a private mail (Hans-JoergF@hyperion-entertainment.com) about this.

One more question... Have you tried moving around the ram? Some mainboards is a bit picky of which slot the ram is plugged in.

Not an issue. RAM should work in either slot.  What might cause problems is if the module is not properly seated, some of them have a hard time sliding completely into the socket.

Actually i have encountered some motherboards being picky about this

Do you mean "motherboards in general" or "AmigaOne boards"? In the latter case, the memory should really either work on both slots, or not at all. If it doesn't, then the board is broken  :-)
