Deneb setup

[Rotzloeffel]

If your system doesn't boot and your usb stick can't be found in the boot menu, try to increase the startup-delay value of your usb stick in trident prefs.

You can´t see USB Devices in the early-startup, because holding the left mousebutton will deactivate the DENEB!

The USB Stick, from where you want to boot, must have the highest priority of the boot-devices at all!

@Rotzloeffel

Aha! That would make some sense.

:idea: Yes.....

But how about the devices not appearing before clicking "Restart" in Trident? Even if I haven't gone through the early startup menu?

First possibility:
If you flashed your DENEB with Luciferin using the the standart settings for Poseidon, there is no need to start it again in the user-startup
uncomment the line

Code: [Select]

c:Psdstackloader

because it is allready loaded !

second possiblity:
you have a "broken-Firmware-ROM" issue! You can try to reflash the DENEB-Firmware by using the latest Version http://www.e3b.de/usb/firm/DENEB_V11.lzh

Question:
Wich jumpers are set on the DENEB? Normaly there ar NO jumpers to set in a Z3 Amiga than it ran in the DMA-Mode Z3 what other cards do you use in your setup ? Maybe it is a DMA-problem ? you can also try to set the DENEB in PIO-Mode and put it in Z2 Mode by using the Jumpers (just for testing)

No jumpers are installed. I have tried both Z3 DMA and PIO, both work fine otherwise except the stack just doesn't start. Have not tried Z2 mode.

The Deneb doesn't generate any kind of log which would indicate what has happened during the boot process?

No Jumpers is the normal setup! Please try Z2 Mode! (just for testing) What other cards are installed in your System ?

I had the Zorro3 Problem when using WB 3.1 ! in 3.9 all is great. 3.1 only works with Z2 Mode for me.

Is the mouse and keyboard working for example in a Game like Ports of Call ? could you try with booting from a gamedisk ?

The lucas-arts adventures works fine with DENEB Mouse and Keyboard for example.

This is just to ensure your hardware is working with your luciferin setup.
