Problem after installing Cyberstorm MKII
« on: November 08, 2010, 01:10:35 AM »
Hi,
 
I've posted this on Amibay as well, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction:
 
Hi,

I'm hoping someone can put me out of my misery...

I recently bought a CSMKII 060 50mhz which I have tried to install today...

I read the manuals so installed the libraries first, then took the A4000D apart, removed the old cpu board and set the jumpers to 'INT' (again as per the manual..)

I then installed the CSMKII, put the miggy back together and that's when the fun started!

When booting, it starts going through the startup-sequence and then I get a reboot error telling me that C:Assign has failed... (sometimes it says C:LIST fails).

I booted with no startup-sequence and just under setpatch I put another line in to disable the datacache (CPU NODATACACHE)..

Miggy boots fine, but really no gain over my previous cpu board without the data cache...

So... I open up a shell and type in CPU DATACACHE... lo and behold, the fabric of the universe isn't torn asunder and the miggy is still running, I can even run DPAINT, DOPUS... but... I try to run Easynet which in turn tries to run AmiTCP and bang! Another reboot error telling me that AmiTCP has failed ( this error alternates with C:Mount has failed)

So... after reading a post by Zetro who appeared to have a similar problem, I download MMULibs, install it, then all hell breaks loose!

Now my miggy just hangs at a pretty CyberGraphx splash screen ( which I've never seen before so it takes me by surprise)...

I painstakingly reverse all the changes made by MMULibs and now I'm back at square one...

Before I revert back to the WarpEngine, can one of you kind souls please offer some suggestions ?


The setup is:

A4000D
DENEB
Cybervision 64 4mb
Buddha
Indivision 4000
CSMKII 060 50mhz 128mb

Kick 3.1 & WB 3.1 PFS3

Cheers,
Marc

Hi,
 
I've got the 68040.library (dummy) and the 68040new.library + 68060.library in LIBS:
 
I've also got Setpatch in the startup-sequence....
 
If I boot with SETPACH NOCACHE is stratup-sequence, then put CPU DATACACHE in my user-startup all is fine and it boots but as soon as I try a dos command eg "showconfig" I get an unrecoverable error....:confused:

Thanks for the libraries Anthony, they are actually different versions to what I had so I've installed yours...
 
Unfortunately still have the same problem even after installing your libraries... So I did a re-install of 3.1 but still with the same problem...
 
Matthey, I will do as you say and try to clean all the contacts and replace the memory modules, if that fails then I will try a fresh install of os3.5 and if that fails I'll just scream:)
 
(I have an 80g HD running PFS3 through the Buddha, I've checked the Maxtransfer etc. for all partitions and they seem fine)
 
The system was running fine with the WarpEngine so I have to assume that it's either the way I have the libraries set up / Setpatch or the memory as you say...
 
 
Thanks guys for your help!

UPDATE 11/11/10
 
I will keep this thread as a diary of the A4000's attempt to frustrate me.
 
This is becoming a nightmare.
 
I thought I'd switch it on before doing anything further and now getting a yellow boot screen...
 
I took it apart and cleaned all contacts, including the Zorro cards, repositioned them then put it back together and wham yellow boot screen again !
 
I've manged to somehow stop the yellow boot screen by fiddling with everything again but the guru error persists with DATACACHE ENABLED...
 
I then tried to boot with a fresh os3.5 install and now SetPatch fails!!!!
 
Arrrrrgh!!
 
I have a spare PSU, might change that tonight in case that's the problem...
