Well, you can probably boot the CD by first booting your normal installation, then soft re-booting (with modules still loaded) with the installation CD and making the update. Don't update the SLB, though. It might work that way. Apart from the boot loader, it should not be a problem... theoretically, at least... never tested this...

Sounds to me the update is a better path. Rigth? I better look out for a UPS I can borrow. Or otherwise I just take the gamble. I think in the middle of the night might be a good idea to do it.

I guess the idea behind this is to get everyones UBoot up to date so that the OS4 update can be used in an instant. Keep eveyone in line. Good thinking Batman!

At first I was a little worried about doing this because I had problems with the first flash for the OS4 Pre CD... Theeeen I thought, knickers to it. Just do it.

Well what can I say. It was so simple I almosty thought I was using an Amiga Hope anyone having those little probs get through it fine.

Cheers Hyperion.

Cable Select... I remember playing with that last time. No, I set it back to Master/Slave. I've tried changing the cable, disconnected the slave, played with most of the options in U-Boot and nothing helps.

Oh, except I looked at printenv. Now, I probably shouldn't mess with options I don't understand, but I saw one called "ide_doreset". It was set to "on".

I've just switched it off. U-Boot complains profusely when it scans the IDE bus, but everything seems to work and a cold boot now happens in around 35 seconds. I don't hold out much hope of booting from CD-ROM but I can live without that for the moment, and it is a more preferable temporary solution than having to enter and exit the boot options menu every time I reboot.

If you want to try, restore the default setting and then reset them with the guide.

Do it with Uboot (it can do that now)

or

You can also reset uboot with these steps:
1-Turn off A1 (also the power supply)
2-remove the battery clock, insert it turning it over. Wait 10 seconds or more.
3-remove the battery and insert it correctly.
4-Turn on your A1, type menu and set all back.
Ehi i didn't take any responsibility if you destroy your Amy! So don't try these steps if you aren't brave enough!

THX again. Udate worked without problems!!! Great. Now AOS4 beta seems to very very near. My hint is this weekend or Halloween

(I downloaded the CD iso to my Mac at work. Copied it to my Swissknife Memorystick. Went to the Windows PC at work (I could have downloaded it there too, but my main computer is a MAC) burnt the CD with WinOnCD. Drove home and installed it in 2-3 minutes on my A1!)
It's great if HW producers adhere to industrial (ISO, IEEE...) standards (XML, iso, ...)

Dumb question time!

Will the old U-Boot settings be valid after flashing the new one - do I need to re-configure U-Boot settings as they are done in the OS4 Pre-Release install guide Section 2?

Just want to be sure

Hi there :)

After the update I got the same problem as poweramiga2002 ..when booting, i now get a reading sector .. with a rather irritating scrolldown :(

It also seems to skip the amiga multiboot, and starts os4 no matter what. (atleast im cant see a menu where im able to choose wether to start os4 or linux). -still, if i choose linux-boot in the settingsmenu, then linux starts without problems.

I have 2 seperate harddisks in my amigaONE - first primary is my linux harddisk, and my first slave is the amiga harddisk.. is the problem somehow related to this ?

please let me know if any of you know how to fix this problem! :)

And thanks for the update! :)

Depends... it might be worth a try without update...

Yeah, but watch out. Don't do it when the moon is new

@ fuskoSCN

See Andrea's (AV) post. The old SLB has this problem. Will be fixed with the update.

Probably too soon, but any word yet?

This is great news!! I can't wait until I get an AOne so I can install this!!! Does anyone know when the next batch of XE boards are expected to ship?

I'm not sure about the next batch delivery date for the XE boards. I'm hoping to get a uA1-C, and if I do, I'll be showing it off at one of our meetings. Hopefully they will ship with the 1.1.1 Uboot already in place.

use the menu command
check hath bout ide channels are enabled,

I'm thinking of getting a micro A1 for Christmas, but it will be the I version not the C - from what I can tell from looking around, the VIA686 chips on the C (the same as the XE has) are the root cause for all the "articia" problems people have been having with the XE (including me BTW - this is not just ann cr@p). The I has a different southbridge which, IIRC, is the same as the one on the faster IDE cards UBoot 1.1.1 supports. So I'll be getting not only a faster IDE bus, I'll also be able to surf the web with DMA enabled on my hard drive. That's probably going to be a useful thing to have when say, streaming mp3s from amigagames.com or doing any form of online gaming (I don't want levels to take forever to load just because I want to frag some friends instead of bots)

I truly don't know why Alan decided to keep using the 686s for the C when he has an alternative - before there was no choice, but now... it is a price thing?

@Rogue and Chris_Y

I have an SE and had no problems with rebooting in
Linux with the .19 linux-kernel. Sometimes, let's say
1 time in 20 times my dvd-drives blocks uboot, so i'd
say that it is more a drive issue then a uboot issue.
With the update from uboot 1.1.1 this is now a bit more
frequently as it doubles the possibility of blocking uboot
with the 2 boots.

The best way i think for you Chris_Y is to interrupt the
first boot and to type your commands:
-boota
-diskboot 500000 x:x; bootm
This way the second boot is cancelled i guess.

Can someone confirm this?

Because the C model doesn't have the problem Also the new XE will be ok.

Booting into Linux via the sil card now . I compiled a new kernel (2.4.22, for now) with only sil support (no VIA) and it seems to run fine.

@Bodie
Have you tried with dma (+ kb per request) yet?
Going to get mine later today or tomorrow
