I recently managed to bring my old towered A1200 back to life after a few years of presuming it was dead (the culprit for all the trouble is apparently the Blizzard 1260 turbo and its connection to the Mediator, apparently I need to nudge it a bit every time if the machine won't boot).

But now there's a problem with the Mediator 1200, seems I can't get it to work. Installing the drivers goes fine, but if I try to run the configuration program, the Amiga just stalls completely. Every time, no matter what versions I try. The same thing happens if I try to run PCIinfo.

Changing the Config-jumper to CLOSED on the Mediator does enable me to run the configuration program, but the Mediator board isn't recognized then.

Any ideas what to try?

It sounds like u have a bad connection somewhere. I think you should stop and clean all connectors on all boards until its all booting reliable.. Reseat the chips on the mediator board,check the chips and sockets for any corrosion.

try running pciinfo in a cli and see if it gives a list of cards.

This old site suggests jumper settings:

Here you can find step by step graphic card(and others) setup:
