I just committed resolution independent automatic icon rescaling for AROS tonight, it should work its way down the pipe to Olaf's distribution by this time next week. |

obviously blizzard ppc is not yet properly supported. there were problems with cyberstorm too, but have been eventually overcomed (i insisted;)) except the scsi controller which still doesnt work correctly. the question is how many insist on certain hardware being worked on and can activel help with it even if submitting debug logs.
if you want to have your hardware supported i encourage everybody to learn how to catch and provide the serial debug for developpers. it may sound like difficult but is quite easy and i think i have outlined the basic somewhere above. the point is you can really help the developers with as little engagement as that. and how aros68k will proceeddepends if the users show some feedback and support. | OK so it might be that it won't even boot from BPPC scsi-controller, because I see no HD activity going on when trying to boot AROS. Can you instruct me how to "catch and provide the serial debug for developpers" please?_________________ Amiga - still alive & kickin'! |

| franko, your icon scaling has been implemented, some fixes still need to be done i think but it basically work. beware on planar hires the mouse pointer shows somewhat off where it actually is. other modes work better as it seems.

Cheers for that Ezrec...
Sorted out the icons myself but unfortunately I've given up trying out AROS on my A1200's...
Can't solve the problem it has with Blizzard boards and putting the Kickstart into Chip RAM, so it's just too awkward trying to use it with only 800Kb of Chip RAM left... _________________

Tried everything I could think of but no luck...
Wonder what kind of set up their using to install AROS as a Kickstart !!
Seems odd that it doesn't follow the standard procedures for using a Kickstart image. Maybe there's a reason for it but whatever it is I can't figure it out... _________________

Is there something about kicktag support in BlizKick on the Aminet? I seem to recall that there is a KickTag patch for making the fast RAM of a Blizzard 1230 recognized as kicktag memory.
You'd have to do something in addition to just using BlizKick on the ROM image itself, but once the Fast RAM is kicktag addressable, it should be able to patch the kickstart to Fast RAM.
In the meantime, I'll keep looking.
-edit2- http://aminet.net/package/util/boot/PatchMemRevB looks like it will work. Last edited by Samurai_Crow on 15-Mar-2012 at 08:56 PM. Last edited by Samurai_Crow on 15-Mar-2012 at 08:50 PM.

| i dont know what a supposed normal procedure is, but if you mean blizkick im not sure if it will allow kicking up 1 meg aros elf to fastram. perhaps a special blizkick compatible image needs to be provided in that case. i know toni wilen has a 1200, he was esting with, and also an a4k with a cyberstorm, jason only has an a4k with a 030 and 040 as far as i know, and i was testing with different a4ks too. we need a 1200er and blizzard lobby. |

Did you catch my second edit? http://aminet.net/package/util/boot/PatchMemRevB will add the KICK tag to Fast RAM so it can be used for RAD disks and softkicks. I don't know how well it works with softkicks though. I'll have to dig out my A1200 sometime soon and try it. |

I've never had any problems using BlizKick or ReLoKick to instal Kicktart images on any of my Blizzard boards even using customised Kickstarts, only the AROS kickstart seems to insist on being placed in Chip RAM...
Obviously the code being used to install the AROS kickstart is not the "normal" code that should be used for installing a Kickstart image and to be honest after 3 days of trying everything I could I have given up with it in the meantime and put my other miggies away...
Maybe one day I'll give it another go but for now I think I'll pass...

good thing though, you have forced that icon issue through. i have mentioned it few times but was never able to motivate anyone. similarly as with a few remaining wanderer problems. thats the open source, they do what they want

Anyone know where there is a blizzard for sale? Depending on the price I might buy one for Jason.

| @terminills dunno, i have a 060 and probably even an 030 version, but i dont think jason has an a1200. i could sponsor a whole setup together with a machine but: 1. im not at home 2. i suppose this is more a job for toni, who apparently has the hardware in question and knows the problem already, but finds it difficult to fix. 3. jason has enough to do, what for instance about mediator support as we speak of it?

Yes he has an A1200, He's only missing an A3000(T).
As for mediator support he's waiting for a part to be delivered from China. :)
