AmigaOS 4.1 FE Classic Voodoo card do not work after UP1 and UP2

Hi

I have an issue with the updates available for AmigaOS 4.1 FE.
With a plain install of AmigaOS 4.1 FE everything seems to work fine, but if I install update 1 or 2 my screen is all black. It seems to be an issue with the new kernel. If I replace it with the old kernel from 4.1 FE it works.

My setup is:
Blizzard PPC 240MHz with 128MB RAM
Elbox Mediator A1200
FastATA 1200 MKV
Voodoo 3
Realtek 8029

I did attach a serial cable for printing out the kernel debug and found this lines containing the voodoo card:

[modulesinit] Module Kickstart/3dfxVoodoo.chip
[_impl_FindResident] Found resident module 3dfxVoodoo.chip
[_impl_InitResident] Initializing native autoinit 3dfxVoodoo.chip V7, priority -128
[_impl_InitResident] 3dfxVoodoo.chip V7 initialized
3dfxVoodoo.chip: x86 BIOS ROM not found
3dfxVoodoo.chip: Found 16384 KB framebuffer (8 x 16 Mbit chipsets)
[modulesinit] Module Kickstart/3dfxVoodoo.chip

One of the seems to indicate that there is no x86 BIOS ROM. Do anyone know what that means?

Have anyone experienced the same issues and have some tips?

@thoby

Have you tried connecting a screen to the RGB or RF ports? As an error message might be being displayed on the built in graphics and not Voodoo card.

Yes. I tried that. Unfortunately there is no error message. It only shows a white background.

I found this thread indicating the same issue:

https://forum.hyperion-entertainment.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3627&p=40340&hilit=voodoo#p40340

Disappointing if this is a known bug that did not get resolved in Update 2.

I tried to create an account in the Hyperion support forum four weeks ago, but it has not been activated so it does seem to be mutch activity there.

I have been using this card since I got my AmigaOne X1000 because it was the only way to play games on my console. Now that I am using a PC, I feel like I should try playing some games again so I decided to reinstall AmigaOS 4.1 FE Classic Voodoo driver but it doesn't work anymore. I will have to visit https://topcvwritersuk.com/ website for the best CV writing service uk online so that I could complete my cv timely.

That's impressive! If that's AI generated text from analyzing aw.net content, it has managed to poop some well formed turds kind of scary, really...

When you just let the eyes scroll through the text it looks perfectly allright, just didn't get what he was saying, but whatever.. "I don't have Voodoo so I wouldn't know" kind of like.

Playing games "on the console" was wierd, and "now have PC so install X1000 Voodoo driver" didn't make too much sense, but you really have to parse the semantics to see it. I didn't! Until I saw your post.
