Trouble installing Mediator for 4k - please help.

[Audun]

Hello

Has anyone had problems installing their mediator on os3.9?

I have the original mediator cd that came with the board, but I'm pondering if it's lacking some files or something. When I try to launch the main installer in the root dir of the cd, it starts the installer, I check all the boxes to make sure all the drivers etc are copied. Then I hit proceed and it just exits without copying anything.

Soooo, what I did then was to run all the small installers in the sub folders (sound drivers, tv drivers, mediator system files, graphics&fast ethernet - etc). That at least made some files copy over, but still I get an error when I start the mixer, so I had to disable that on boot, also I lack the monitors and picasso tool crap that I need to use the voodoo card I have on the mediator.

Does anyone know if this is a known problem, or if there was some kind of updated version of the mediator driver cd?

Ah, doh :}

First time installing a gfx card, thanks!

Thanks for good help guys!

I'm trying to set up my voodoo first now so I can at least have a decent resolution with colors to finish the rest hehe.

I installed picasso and cvision3d and renamed the cvision files to voodoo etc, this is where I'm stuck atm:

It says Step4: "Click to the Voodoo icon (in Devs:Monitors drawer).

then it says Step5: "Start the Picasso96Mode program and select Attach setting to Board0: Voodoo"
---

I did step4, and at step5 I have opened Picasso96Mode and am looking around, I see "Attach setting to" in the top menu, but when I get the drop down menu that belongs to it- it only says "no board" <-- it should have said voodoo there right? Anyone got any idea why it doesn't?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much for taking the time to post to help!

I did all that, and it all checks out- everything seems in order

However I was a bit puzzled after I had done "pciinfo" in shell, it listed exactly 40 pci devices. None had info that I could make anything of, but the last good few seemed to have the same values. That must be a bit off, right?

[Audun]

Ok, double checking that. *breaks out macgyver tools*

Ok, everything was seated perfectly like I thought. I swapped the cards around, no difference.

Also the 2206 is listed as working in boot options.

By the way this is a really silly question probably but, it was suggested to me that the mediator needed a power cable connected? Is this true? I didn't see anything like that.

[Audun]

Ok, I don't see anywhere it could be attached so I guess that's cleared up then.

Still can't seem to get Picasso96Mode to detect the voodoo board though (

Yes I have that mediator card thing that's in both a zorro and a pci slot, also I have a tvcard, and a soundblaster installed.

The voodoo is a voodoo3, and it did function just a while ago in another Amiga, so I am positive it still works.

Good tip that pcitool, I will give that a try! Thank you for all the great help, I will nag more here tomorrow after some well needed rest :}

Edit: did a search on aminet, you probably meant "pciscan" instead of "pcitool", right?
