Warm Boot
« on: June 01, 2008, 08:17:43 PM »
Need some help ......
I did a new install of OS 3.1 on my A3k and everything was fine.
Then I added some pathing to the user-startup.
Somewhere along the way I lost the 'Warm-Boot' function.
I didn't do anything exotic, just paths for CygnusEd etc.

Anyone have any idea why this happened ??

Do you mean that you can't do a warm boot?
 


Correct ........
When I try to do a Warm Boot, it will boot into
a CLI (OS 1.0 ?) with no system functions.
I have to do a Cold Boot to get the system back.

Are you sure you didn't add another HDD to the system ? Or leave a floppy disk in the drive ?

Enter cd into the empty CLI window to show the current directory. What does it say, is it your boot drive or another one ?

Bye,
Thomas


No added HDD's, or floppies left in drive .....

" CD " seems to be the only command it reconizes.
The different drive partitions appear to be there
and I can 'CD' to any one of them but if I do a 'DIR'
or 'List' I get an 'Unknown Command' back.

I found the problem ....... now how to fix it ......

After a process of elimination, I've determined its
the monitor settings.
I forgot to mention I have a CV64 card in the A3k.
If I stay with the defalt OS 3.1 install settings the
worm boot works fine but when I install the CV64 card
settings the screen is correct and Cold Boot is fine.

But a Warm Boot puts me in the Dos (sys) directory.
It boots very fast and without a startup-sequence.
I'm using the CV64 install disk, not 'Picasso'.
I've had this problem since I installed the GFX card
but it didn't concern me until now (many reasons).
Is this a problem with CV 64 or its software.
Will Picasso fix it?

What to do ????????

I had problems with the setup of my Cyber card using the native software.

All's been fine since I used the Picasso software.

Could be worth trying.

I seem to remember hearing the Picasso software as being
slower than the CV software. Is that true ?
