It could also be the SATA cables. Whoever designed those cables deserves to be shot.
Try to re-route the cable and bend it so that it does not put any force on the connectors. If it pulls the connector to one side, it will generate intermittents.
The SATA cables with little metal clips to hold them ...

Probably the SATA card came loose?
If you let the SAM run overnight it might have become cozy and warm in there...that probably settled the card a bit.
The error you get is just a random error because your SAM couldn't read all of the data, next time the card's gone loose (god forbids) maybe ...

Replugged the SATA card and reconnected both DVD and HDD and guess what? It just decided to work now...what the hell is going on? Is this a known SAM "feature" ?

How can my SLB disappear and reappear like that?

I've tested the drive on both my SATA card and the onboard controller and get the same error message: No SLB found. It's like the drive just got corrupted for no reason since the Amiga was idle all night.

Wish it was that simple but nope, no success

Woke up in horror this morning to this message when trying to boot my SAM460:

Error message:
AOS4 FLB
Bad checksum while reading second level bootloader
Error (no IRQ) dev 0 blk 8: status 0xd0
Loadsector: error when reading from block 8
FLB: no SLB found in any of the designated boot sources ...

Back to normal at 7Mbps download and 0.9Mbps upload with MUI-OWB

@acmn
That's weird you get so bad upload compared to your downstream.

Sorry for the late comeback, the SAM was unplugged for a while because we moved into a new house. I've installed MUI-OWB and it is definitely faster browsing that OWB so yes, the slow performance was due to the software only. Thanks for your inputs.

I'm usging OWB 3.32 for these tests, maybe i'm not "up to date" because I can't find connections settings anywhere? Do you recommend another version?

Love the AmiUpdate tool, i'm a big fan of automated stuff. We are getting close to what I expect of an OS for everyday usage.

Thanks to the OS4 team!
