OS 3.9 is Up and Running, but...
« on: December 22, 2004, 08:02:38 PM »
Thanks for the great help everybody. My mistake in my original installation was creating an 'OS39' directory, and installing to it. My bad, but I was thinking of Windows, and how there's a Windows install directory...
Anyway, everything is fine, now, the OS is running. (Haven't had a chance to play with it yet, thought). Now, I do have another little problem with my CD-ROM. Its an external, and when I tried to boot up (even under Workbench 3.1) with it already powered up, my machine would hang on boot. Of course, if I booted with the drive off, the machine couldn't see it. I tried using my terminator plug, but that was somehow able to keep the machine from booting, even when the CD drive the plug was attached to was off! The way I boot up now is this: First, I boot up with the drive on, the system hangs, then I do a CTRL-Amiga-Amiga, and reboot. The machine then boots just fine, with the CD drive up, running and available. My SCSI devices numbers are as follows G-Force Accelerator #7, hard drive, #0, CD drive, #2.The accelerator's # is preset, and the CD is the last device in the scuzzy chain. Currently, I am not able to use my terminator plug on it, because of the aforementioned problem. :-?

Thanks. I'll try moving it around, and see what happens.

Well, I tried moving it to all the suggested locations, and it still hangs up on a 'hard' reboot. Must be something about the drive itself. Anyway, I finally settled on keeping it in the wbstartup folder, because there, at least I don't the 'CD2:uninitialized' error message. However, I am now in the process of trying to figure out what the 'A SCSI command error has occurred' message, every time I try to play a music CD. I'm looking into my mount file, the control options, and also, some info I found on GVP controllers being prone to this type of error. Trackdisk may solve the problem, but it seems to bring with it a lot of restrictions. Onward. :idea:
