What am I doing wrong when programming my kickflash OS4?

keropi · 06 July 2006, 15:05

I thought I did that right but no....

Here is what I do:

1. Format the FLASH
2. Add a firmware, v.1.6 it writes it OK, select NO on the question and then BlizzPPC card.
but on diagnostics it says v.1.5

3. Add a 3.1 ROM for a1200 , I add the whdload rom image I use
4. Add the 3.9-bb2 romupdate, all expect scsi.device (since I have a fastata and its ata3.driver installs scsi.device v.50.00)
5. then I save on the Flash, it says ~380kb free
6. power off
7. remove kickflash jumper
8. reboot
9. nothing, the hd led stays on for 20-30sec, and then the power led blinks (it always has light, just dimms a little and then it goes to full bright...)

any ideas?

Try it with the kickstart ROM only, also get the newest coyoteflash from http://www.coyoteflux.nl/files/CoyoteFlash.lha
