Just need to get the external ports working and sort out the recoverable alert on boot-up.

I've just noticed that you have a Cybervision 64 card.

Have you reflashed the Deneb with the lastest BIOS in order to fix the bug with the Cybervision?

My system used to Guru when I tried installing CybergraphX until I reflashed the Deneb with the update.  Go to the Deneb site to get the instructions and file.  Make sure you follow the instrcutions carefully.

Thanks Darrin. Updating the firmware on the Deneba and then powercycling has done the trick. No recoverable alerts on boot-up, now.

Is there a way to get rid of the Deneb start up intro? Remove it from the Flashrom using Luciferin?

What else can the flashrom be used for?

I wish I'd spotted that earlier and saved you some headaches.  :-)

As per my post above, I haven't started messing with the Flash ROM side yet, but I did remove all the modules to get rid of the intro screen and the prompt for Eric's video.

The poseidon stack itself (to boot from usb devices), amiga os rom updates, and other programs which are romtag-able, like for example XSurfIDE. Look in the modules drawer of Luciferin for some examples.

If I put the OS3.9 ROM in the Deneb, will I need to change my startup sequence to prevent OS3.9 trying to load the ROM again when it starts, or will it work out that the ROM is already loaded and skip it?

OK, cheers.  :-)
