Crashing Amiga After Upgrade

[Ioncannon]

No ram chips installed and jumper is set to 0. Not sure what you mean on termination.

SCSI termination. I think the board has termination onboard, but the other end of the drive chain needs to be terminated as well. Maybe your working drive is terminated and the other isn't?

[Ioncannon]

Found out the drive that didn't cause the glitchy graphics wasn't terminated, however it still worked? The one that did had terminators on it so I swapped over, but it didn't change anything.

I pulled the card out and tried again the steps that cause the crash. Booted up the Install disk, opened HDSetup and tried to open the HD Tools drawer, crashed. So it doesn't even seem to be the card, but my Amiga? =\ get's worse and worse. Strangly games seem to boot and run no problem.

Well seems I fixed the problem. I bought a A2048 RAM card from the guy I  got the A2091 from, which had 8mb. Now all the problems have gone away.  All the programs that crashed are running fine, and I have yet to see  the corrupted gfx issue.

Hi guys, I recently put a A2091 card /w HDD in my A2000 (was bone stock) and upgrade the Kickstart to 2.1. However I'm now getting corrupted icons in Workbench 2.1 and if the appear, the computer crashes to guru meditation. What could cause this? Also, other mem is 0, but graphics mem is some value (forgot exactly).

Hi,

First did you check the terminator on the scsi card. Second thing is the jumpers for memory on the 2091. Without the terminator in you need to hook up a second scsi device on the external scsi connector.

SCSI controller
Western Digital 33C93
uses the same DMAC custom chip for DMA transfers as the A3000
knows the Rigid Disk Block and SCSI Direct protocols
built in XT IDE (8 bit) hard disk controller - the connectors and LED are not installed but their place is visible on the card
50 pin internal SCSI header
DB25 external connector
a 3.5" hard disk can be mounted on the card
16 kB autoboot ROM (can be disabled) - autobooting requires at least Kickstart 1.3
revision 7.0 of the ROM is necessary for 68040 machines
supports SCSI network sharing
supported by Linux, NetBSD and OpenBSD
A-Max II driver (scsi.amhd)
memory
sixteen DIP sockets accept 0.5, 1 or 2 MB RAM
supports 256k×4 (44256) chips, 120 ns or faster
cannot use DMA to transfer data to 32 bit fast RAM
if Zorro II DMA memory is not available the driver falls back to programmed I/O transfers
performs extremely slow in the A4000 because of the above mentioned two problems

Ok thats the best I can do for now without knowing more of your setup.
