Weird PPC software problem,

[m1screant]

Hi all,

I am running an A1200 603/40/175 with 128mb ram, Mediator 1200, Voodoo3 and Powerflyer.

Here is the weirdness.

I have installed all the required software for running PPC software. The demo's all work fine. No problems so far.

Now, i have installed Nightlong and Quake to my workbench partition (PPC versions) and they work fine.

But, if i install them to another partition on that drive or on the second channel of the powerflyer then they wont work, i get PPC Exception Errors.
How can that be? I am totally confused.

Oddly, if i install Payback with update 7 then it wont work no matter what partition i put it on. I really dont know where to go from here, i dont know what to narrow the problem down to.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi,

I did think about the filesystem.

Firstly i was using FFS for the workbench partition and PFS3 for everything else.

So i changed it and now everything is FFS from the OS3.9 CD.

Is there something i should be aware of?

Thanks

My Workbench Partition:

Mask : 0X7FFFFFFF
Max Transfer: 0X00FFFFFF
File System Block Size:512

My other partitions:

Mask: 0X7FFFFFFE
MaxTransfer: 0X0001FE00
File System Block Size : 1024

Of the second partion, i have about 10 of those split into 3.9gig each.

Does this mean anything to you?

Thanks.

Thanks for that, i will try it.
Sorry if i come across as stupid but i have never messed about with the settings inHDToolbox before.

I have always used the defaults.

Cheers.

Imback again,

I tried the hard drive values and it still doesnt work.

It doesnt matter what software i put on the Primary drive on the second channel, it wont work. I installed some games with WHDLoad, which work on the first drive, but they wontgo either.

It has to be to do with how i set up the hard drive with the Powerflyer. It cant be a faulty hardware i think because my CD Rom is the slave on the second channel and that is fine.

Can anyone give me a walkthrough on setting up the second drive, or perhaps another idea altogether.

This is very frustrating. Thanks all.
