AmigaOS 4.1 Upg 3 hanging on first boots...?

[vox]

Can someone (from previous threads on this subject(s)) please tell me *again* why Complete/ISO-style releases (with upgrade options) are *so evil* that they must be avoided?

:rolleyes:

Installing OS4.1.0, OS4.1.1, OS4.1.2, OS4.1.3 in a row in order to get a clean-slate system seems a bit uncomfortable IMNSHO? But maybe it's "Teh Tru Amiga (TM)" in some way I don't understand?

I'm not in any way claiming that upgrading to new version of MorphOS is guaranteed to be flawless and problem-free (I know from personal experience that it sometimes isn't), but *if* you need (or *Want!*) to do a clean slate installation on MorphOS, you can *always* do so from the most current image released, no need to install previous ones in a row in a Windows98 kind of way...

Don't believe me? Have a try yourselves!

It's *Free of Charge*! :

Not helping, since he`s got the SAM and can`t really try MOS.

As reported, only real upgrade problem was with 3rd party MUI Classes.

I wiped and did a clean install of the OS 4.1 Upd 1 install CD, then installed Upd 2 and hard-rebooted then installed Upd 3. It still freezes on the dimly-lit AmigaOS 4.1 logo boing ball.

What is up here? This is a SAM 440ep Flex with the Radeon 9650 (or whatever the recommended card was) and 512MB of RAM -- no other funk cards in there. Just a keyboard and mouse on USB.

Now, I did not install that SAM firmware update that landed a year or two ago that would upgrade the bus / memory speed of the machine at the sacrifice of CPU speed. That was the proposition, as I recall it. Is that update required here?

Very frustrated. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about your problems.

a) If you haven`t, download and update last UBoot 1.3.1d
from http://www.acube-systems.biz/index.php?page=hardware&pid=2
b) Try disconnecting USB devices to boot and then connecting them if it (hopefully) boots

Radeon is probably 9250. If its really 9600, card is not well supported by OS
