Mediator + BVision configuration problems

[kas1e]

I am use Bvision and Mediator with Voodoo3/Realtack 10mb, at the same time. Of course in fact that bvision and voodoo3 have different setup (start from p96 /cgx, and end env:powerpc/gfxaddr). I mean 2 different partion. one called
system_bvision, second called system_voodoo3.

Also i think that topicstarter too, use 2 paritions, becouse he said:

Code: [Select]

I have tried with envarc:powerpc/gfxaddr set to $e0000000 (bvision) and $2000000 (voodoo) - no change, not really surprised by that.

It's unpossible at the same time to have 2 different value for one ENV. so, looks like topicstarter use  it as i am use.

So, for me. All works just ok. I just choice by some programm right boot priority and boot from bvision, or from voodoo3. I can said more, if topicstarter still in interest.

btw, i want to said, that i can use bvision, and for example realteck from mediator at the same time. But of course, with voodoo3 in mediator also.

@Boot_WB
If i remember correctly, i was use also 100mb net card, but for it, i must be loaded into voodoo3 partition, reboot, and boot from bvision partition, and networks start to work for first reboot, was not.

ps. and i am also use BPPCFIX in both partitions.

ramlib failure can be in fact of :

1. bad envs for WarpOS
2. bad hardware contact (too much time was for me somethink like it)

Basically i do always somtehink like this:
by BPPCfix patch, i remove old ppc.library from ppc. It's one a buggy, and WarpOs must be works without this library. Basically i can said, that BPPCFix must be in any case.
Load OS, and do manually (if i want warp-os) : loadlib powerpc.library.

PS. Also i was have problems with installation of Bvision drivers. CGX 3 just do not works, but cgx v4 works just fine. What i do:
Install CGX4. Reboot, can't load. Black screen. Reboot without startup, erase cgxsystem.library, install last bvision updates, reboot - all works.


Ps. Full install for me was looks like this:

setup 2 partitions. do full install for voodoo3/mediator on first. with ppc, warpos, warp3d and so on.

After it just copy all files from 1st partition to the second, and second called system_bvision. Change startup-sequnce and user-startup for system_bvision path,
and install CGX v4 drivers as i said uppear. After it i am remove old warp3d and install new one for bvision, and just change data in env:powerpc/gfxaddr (of course env of bvision partiion ), and all works ok.
