You missed post #760. And there is something wrong, log has line that shouldn't happen.

@Toni
It is this time I had read and understood English

, I said it just to get him to do an additional check, if it can help that symptom also occurs when you try to add more RAM to the system.

Question: The emulation of WinUAE will land on OS4 Classic or the future holds other surprises!

mritter0 · 26 September 2014, 02:34

New logs with the latest test beta (winuae.zip).

I am beginning to think it is the MediaToolbox on the cd. I can not get ANY hd format to work, Standard, FFS, or SFS. I am making sure I set the proper settings according to the manual. Sometimes it says "Not a DOS disk in DH0", other times it will boot, show OS4.1 logo, then go to "Insert floppy disk" screen and not continue booting. I think I have tried to re-install at least 20 times now.

Is anyone else having this issue using the MediaToolbox on the OS4.1 cd? I am making the vhd or hdf in WinUAE the same way, Accelerator Board SCSI. Start from floppy/CD. Go to MediaToolbox, mount the drive/partition, add filesystem, etc. Reboot. OS4.1 installs just fine. Reboot. Won't boot.

Log is now different and problem is also gone, did you change config? (If you did, use original config and attach log again)

I think your problem must be somehow related to your drive size which is exactly 4G. Try some other size, slightly less 4G for example. Not a dos disk is normal if boot partition is not 3.x compatible. (EDIT: as in, no m68k filesystem in RDB)

EDIT: Did you also create the hdf/vhd from scratch? (Delete and create new one)

@Toni

Well, I just tried to revert back to the way I had the vhd when I first posted. Now I can't even get the installer program to start. After the logo screen goes black it just sits there. This is with the latest winuae.zip I downloaded.

The attached log is from a 3.9GB vhd, always freshly made, and only gets to the black screen after logo.

Steps for making a vhd I take:

Add hardfile...
3900 MB
Check Dynamic HDF
Click Create and give it a name
HD Controller to Acclelarator board SCSI, unit 0
Click Enable RDB Mode
OK

I just tried it again, never saw logo screen.

As posted earlier, I have tried a dozen times with different file systems using MediaToolbox. I have yet to get it boot after install. I will keep trying and try the "old way" of using OS3.1 floppy to partition it and see it works.

Originally we used IDE and un-checked "Load the cybppc.device" in install wizard. Should we be not un-ticking it now?

I think that if you're using Acclelarator board SCSI, you need to check that option during installation.

I also had some mysterious crashes that happened every time after a cold boot (i.e., after starting the emulation). It turned out that I forgot to install SFS filesystem into the hard disks RDB. It seems that I've been playing with NG amigas too long...

You can alter the kickstart/a4000.kicklayout and remove the ; before the cybscsi line, this will re-enable it.

Beta 18:

- "Pause emulation when xyz" option remained forever stuck in pause mode if PPC CPU was active.
- PearPC PPC emulation removed.
- Freezer cartridge ROMs had disappeared from GUI.
- Freezer cartridges didn't work.
- Force Direct3D mode if hardware RTG board + PPC enabled. DirectDraw has glitches. (Will also have glitches in non-PPC mode but there is no need to change it yet)
- CSPPC/BPPC interrupt controller IO address accesses were not thread safe, caused random lost or stuck interrupts.

qemu-uae.dll has not changed since b17.

mritter0 · 28 September 2014, 17:36

OMFG!! WTF!!

Got up this morning and tried one more time to install OS4.1. Used beta17. Worked. Tried again with the pre-beta18. Worked. Installed network and downloaded aweb to check. All worked. Yeah!

Tried again and added the Work and SWAP partitions. Does not work. I have tried it at least 15 times with only 1 partition and CD. And now with latest beta18, still no luck.

After install and reboot I get guru 8000 0008 0802C7F8 every time. Even with 3900MB vhd.

huepper · 28 September 2014, 18:05

Short test with b18, no problems.
My installed OS4.0 works, new installation works, everything ok at the moment.

thanks

Guru numbers are usually totally useless. Use -scsiemulog (as previously) and attach both working and non-working logs.

mritter0 · 28 September 2014, 18:39

I know. Just frustrated.

I don't have a working copy anymore. Since it worked the first time I thought all was good so erased it verify it. Worked one more time. Good. Now I will erase it, do it over with the other partitions (separate, not 1 huge vhd split up. scsi id: workbench=0, work=1, programming=2, swap=5, cd=6). Did not work. Tried again with just 1 partition and cd. Has never worked since.

Here is the latest non-working log that gurus when PPC would start. No logo screen seen.

No point in swap partition, if your using Z3 RAM as it will act as swap memory due to OS4.1 seeign it as a ZoRRAM.
Do you get guru straight after PPC start? As I used to get this all the time, clicked left mouse button and it would continue booting.

mritter0 · 29 September 2014, 00:42

@FOL

I would if I could. I posted before: I can't get it to work. What do you set? How much? I asked for a screen shot of the RAM page that shows the settings.
