Yes, ofcourse you need PPC for OS4.x. Time to replace that Cyberstorm!

well smerf, perhaps you should have invested in a bvision? using aga in 2013 and expecting a modern OS experience? I dont think so. OS4.1 is 100% fast enough to be usable on classic amiga/ppc, but you need to upgrade aga. remember your OS3.x experience will also benefit..

Quote from: danbeaver;729199
It is very compatible with legacy 680X0 code by bypassing the jit compiler and passing it on to the 68060 -- something the NG's can't do.

Is this really working? Ive always been in doubt. How can I tell its running native instead of emulated, under OS4.1? Any way to find out?

In my case its quite the other way around. I only have IDE but OS4.x spends almost a minute doing nothing every reboot because its checking for SCSI devices. Wish I could turn if off in kicklayout.

Once its starts loading it boots up in a few seconds. Thanks to my IDE-Fix express, I guess.

Please, tell me which line I should comment out. Ive tried quite a few. Even commenting out some things dealing with hardware that I dont even have make the system unbootable. Its a mess.

that is not part of kicklayout. perhaps the installer already kicked it out.
 
what I meant, was stuff like:
 
MODULE Kickstart/A1200/ATAPIismajik
MODULE Kickstart/CDFileSystem
MODULE Kickstart/diskboot.config
MODULE Kickstart/diskboot.kmod
MODULE Kickstart/FastFileSystem
MODULE Kickstart/FileSystem.resource.kmod
MODULE Kickstart/SmartFileSystem
MODULE Kickstart/JXFileSystem
MODULE Kickstart/A1200/scsi.device.kmod
 
some stuff already disabled:
 
;MODULE Kickstart/A1200/scsi.device_ppc.kmod
;MODULE Kickstart/sii3112ide.device.kmod
;MODULE Kickstart/sii3114ide.device.kmod
;MODULE Kickstart/sii3512ide.device.kmod
;MODULE Kickstart/sii0680ide.device.kmod
 
The RTG options are strange, too. While during install I checked the Bvision box, kicklayout still contains:
 
MODULE Kickstart/PCIGraphics.card
MODULE Kickstart/3DLabsPermedia2.chip
MODULE Kickstart/3dfxVoodoo.chip
MODULE Kickstart/ATIRadeon.chip
MODULE Kickstart/Graffity.card
MODULE Kickstart/PicassoII.card
(....)
 
I tried removing the things I dont have, but then I no longer have video output.
 
Ohwell I guess I need to spend some more time with it.
