Boot problem
« on: February 07, 2003, 01:22:14 AM »
I have an A1200 with all the bells and whistles.
When it boots, it hangs and will not display on the Voodoo card.
Switching to the FlickerFixer output I see the message "Software failure 80000008"
So I boot with the emergency disk and 3.9 in the CD. NOTFALL starts and recognizes my 060 and memory.
Here is the wierd part.
After looking at this screen for a few seconds, I remove the floppy and the CD and press the reset button.
The machine procedes to start normally and now I can hook the monitor back up to the Voodoo output and everything is fine.
What's up with this? :-?

Well, I got to the early startup screen and selected Boot without startup-sequence. Still won't boot.

I failed to mention that I have recently installed a 40GB HD 7200 rpm.
I also have installed ATA3 with the new HD controller Flyer Gold.
If I am booting without startup and it still won't boot, could it be the controller?
