Question [Solved] PiMiga 1.5 > Guru Meditation errors at boot >

Hi there guys.

I was hoping that you could shed some light on an issue for me please

Background:
I've just obtianed the absolutley aweseome Pimiga 1.5 package for my Raspberry Pi 4.

I imaged the sd card with etcher (on linux)
I copied accross my ROMs to the Kicks folder

Things worked brilliantly, for about 30 mins.
I played a couple of games (quickly as a test)
Opened a couple of apps / programmes - They all opened and worked properly.
Everything seemed to be working well.

I was going to have a go on a few more games, and I wanted to use my
X-Box (360 ?) wired gamepad.

I plugged it in to one of the USB ports on the Pi, (It wasnt recognised which I was half expecting).
I then turned off the Pi. re-insterted the gamepad and rebooted,
I got to the Pimiga desktop, but the gamepad still wasnt recognised.

I performed another powercycle, with the gamepad attatched
and then I stared to get the Guru meditation errors when trying to boot
into the main Pimiaga desktop (see trouble shooting steps below for error).


Trouble shooting:
01. The Pi will boot.
02. Get a basic text screen that scrolls with some device info
03. Displays the "Rainbow" box for 0.5 secs
04. Displays the Pimiga 1.5 splash screen

05. Then I get a nice big honking Guru meditation error
and the screen hangs (see error message below)

06. I can hit F12 and get into the config screen for UAE
I can then restart or quit the programme, and either drop into the CLI
or restart the "Amiga" from the UAE config screen.

07. If I restart the "Amiga", I get back to the splash screen.
and I'll either get the Guru meditation error or I'll sometimes get into
a WB screen (but its massivley corrupt and the screen resolutions and
dimesions are warped.

But I cannot get back into the main Pimiaga Amiga desktop anymore


08. I've tried booting both with and without the gamepad attached
and neither works, I get the Guru meditation error message

09. I've ran a FS check using both (G-Parted & K-Partion manager)
on the boot and kicks partitions on the sd card.

However, I'm getting some strange results -

G-Parted is throwing out some errors (see bottom of this post)
However G-Parted has been twitchy for a while now, when trying to perform
FS checks on (Non-Linux) based FS - So I'm not entirley convinced that
there are any FS errors. (But I've included them for completeness)

K-Partition manager scans the FS and comes back clean with no errors
on the FS or partitions.


Device: Raspberry Pie 4 (4GB RAM)

OS: Pimiga 1.5 lite version (32 GB)
