How to install OS4.1 Classic - Page 3

Steve · 09 January 2015, 01:24

Ok, So I continued anyway and it does seem to be working albeit missing a few icons from the system tray at the bottom. Is that anything to be concerned about? I'm pretty disappointed that there is a read error with my new CD from Vesalia but what can I do? Would they accept a returned disc?

Anyway it seems to be working (touch wood) but I'm not sure if anything crucial was missed off the end.

Steve, maybe it's just a bad drive and not the CD? You could try to create an iso from it on another computer.

tomead · 09 January 2015, 08:47

I had the same issues with my CD at exactly the same point. Made an iso of the disk, and then it installed fine.

Steve · 09 January 2015, 11:39

Thanks Doc. I created an ISO file and installation went fine. Thanks a lot. Now what to do with Amiga OS 4.1? lol.

Insert the "Guide-Files.adf" from the my archive.

copy df0:lha C:
copy df0:ethernet.device Devs:Networks/
copy df0:wget c:

Close the Shell.

What about these files? Can I just get them off Aminet? Are they PowerPC specific or can I use the 68k versions? There is only a 68k version of Lha.run and Ethernet.lha. Wget has a PPC version so do I use that one??

You can get them of aminet and put on a disk image..

There´s a disk image with those files on in the EAB FTP (in The Zone dir).
Can't remember the file name though.

Steve · 09 January 2015, 13:58

I couldn't find the adf image but I found these PPC files on Aminet:

http://aminet.net/package/comm/tcp/w...pc-amigaos-bin

http://aminet.net/package/util/arc/lha_os4

However the only Ethernet device I can find on Aminet is for 68k Amiga's. Nothing for PPC.

http://aminet.net/package/driver/net/Ethernet

Maybe this guide is out of date now as I've just looked on my OS4.1 installation and there is already a file installed in Devs/Networks called "ppc-ethernet.device". I dunno. Would be nice if this guide was updated.

Also the os4depot link for testing the internet connection has since changed. The new link is:

http://eu.os4depot.net/share/graphics/aiss/aiss.lha

Its saying Host not Found so I guess my internet connection (OS4 side) isn't working properly. I don't have an Internet Connection wizard in the Docky like this guide says. Needs more playing around with it guess.

Steve · 09 January 2015, 15:48

Quite a little adventure this OS 4.1 installation. lol.

Ok I seem to have the network connection up and running ok. The link for the 'aiss' file does actually work, it just redirects you to the new location that I gave above. There is no 'Internet Connection Wizard' in the dock at the bottom of the screen of OS4.1 Final Edition. Instead you will find it here:

SYS:Internet/New Connection

Seems a bit obvious now but anyway, following the instructions to setup a local area network connection seems to work fine. I found that the ppc-ethernet.device didn't actually work but the ethernet.device file that I linked to in the last post does actually work which surprised me. Managed to get on EAB using the Origyn web browser.

Seems to be runnning ok so far. PPC emulation is a lot quicker than I thought it would be and only seems to be using around 27% of my CPU's resources. I have an Intel Core i7 3770k at 3.5Ghz. Pretty pleased with OS 4.1 so far. Its a nice OS. Really good installation guide as well, though I Just wish it'd be updated.

Mmm, I'm doing something wrong but can't figure what. I haev WinUAE boot with the boot.adf from the CD. It detects the CD. Then it shows the AmigaOS 4.1 splash screen. Then you have the colored screen flashes. Then this continues endlessly (rainbow, pink, rainbow, pink) And PPC is on RUN on pink screen and STOP in rainbow screen.

You probably have uaescsi.device or something like bsdsocket.library ticked in the expansion area

I managed to install OS4.1FE without too much trouble.

The main issue is with the network connection. For some reason, when I download the guide-files.adf (either via Windows or Amikit) the file is always corrupted and when mounted on WinUAE, cannot be opened either by OS3.x or by OS4.1FE
I downloaded the ethernet.device from Aminet and transferred it across to the OS4.1FE install, but following the guide, all I get is "ethernet-device port 0 cannot be opened".
Any ideas as to how to get this working?

mritter0 · 14 April 2015, 00:35

Did you try my archive from post #1? I just checked it, all good here.

Yes. I've finally got OS4.1FE to recognise the ADF and I've extracted and copied the Ethernet.Device to DEVS
However, trying to select it when adding a new connection give an error message of "ethernet.device cannot be opened on port 0" and the connection test fails.
Anything I'm missing here?

@IFX45user: DEVS:Networks for the ethernet.device

Hey guys,

yesterday I got the installation of AmigaOS 4.1 successfully finished. Following the guide and hints Updates need to be installed from Hyperion. But after registration I don't find updates.

Are there not required anymore or was I just too stupid to find them?

Thx and best regards
Mike

After running the installation I can't seem to re-mount the ISO while booted into workbench (4.1 FE Classic) to install the extras. I set the CD SCSI on cyberstorm ppc unit 6, boot workbench, then hit f12, then select to mount the iso. Nothing happens in workbench. Any ideas? Do I need to open the cyberstorm early boot menu and change any settings?

Arnie · 20 June 2015, 14:40

Is it set to the correct CD-Rom Drive letter (PC side), mine's D:, or image file location?

20 June 2015, 14:53

Yeah, it's set to the ISO. The same one I'm able to mount and add the boot floppy and boot the installation all over again.

Arnie · 20 June 2015, 15:04

Hmm, very strange!

What happens if you set it to use the disc?
