Amiga 2000 will not boot
« on: May 16, 2008, 01:00:12 AM »
Hello everybody, how is it going?  I have a small problem and maybe somebody here could help me solve it.  

I just recently installed OS 3.1 on my machine which also has a 68030 board installed.  When I boot up, sometimes it doesn't work.  It just freezes with a black screen and the power LED flashes.  If I reboot again in 68000 mode, it will work fine.  After that, the machine will work fine.  It just seems like a cold boot causes problems.

Also, a few days ago, I was experiencing several Checksum errors on my hard drive.  Does anybody know what causes this and how can I correct it.

One more question and I will be through.  What file system is the most stable... FFS or SFS?

Thanks alot everybody.

Barney

Thanks everybody, I think I figured out the problem.  I believe I need the newest 2091 SCSI roms for this card.  I am going to give this a try and get back with you.  

Thanks

Actually, I am using a hard drive larget than 1GB.  I am using a 2.1 GB hard drive.  could this be my problem.  It seems to be booting good for the most part except that I receive full screen "Software Error" messages in red lettering.  It asks me to click the left mouse button to continue and the machine usually recovers.  Should I go back down to a smaller hard drive.
