BPPC A1200 mediator system cant soft reset?
« on: January 03, 2007, 02:12:47 PM »
Hi all, would someone please look through my Startup sequence and User Startup-sequence, to see if there is any reason why my BPPC system cannot reboot from a soft reset.... On a soft reboot, the machine hangs on a black native chipset screen. A power down for 20 secs allows a normal boot up.

A1200T Blizzard 603+ PPC 175mhz 68040 25mhz 128mb RAM. 4GB IDE HDD, IDE CDRW OS3.9 Mediator LT4 Voodoo 3 P96 GFX card.

If you can offer any advice, then it would be very welcome... powering down each time I need to reboot can not be good for my hardware :-(  

Many thanks!

Just curious: If you boot without startup-sequence, does it reboot nicely then?
Code 6502 asm or... DIE!!

Hi Skurk,if I reset and choose "Boot with no startup sequence" from the early boot menu, the machine dumps me at a cli prompt. If I then type loadwb it starts Workbench after a few requests for ENV.

My BPPC behaved like this sometimes before it was upgraded to a '060
The '040 is very power hungry, do you feed extra juice to the floppy connector on the motherboard?

if you are using IdeFIX try this:

C:LoadIDE START QUIET

C:SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device" QUIET

that must be the first 2 lines in S-S. And move the anticlick in User Startup (and check that "if exists MUIocs" that should be MUI:Docs)

FIXED!!!

Framiga you are a superstar, I moved c:anticlick from Startup-Sequence to User-startup

Soft reset now works like a charm!!

Amiga.org wins the point!! I posted this over on EAB on the 23rd December with no replies.. Poor show EAB, poor show indeed!!  :lol:  :lol:
