Okay... recently obtained a sam460 LE...

I repeated walking into this problem... however... *the displayed output was different*...

the 440 display went black and stayed black...
the 460 showed a red screen with *non-moving* mouse pointer in the top left corner...

switching SDcards and booting ...

Checked ALL the cabling ( Ive got plenty of spare cables for that)...

turns out one of the two removable ram modules was bad so 512MB of memory is gone...

I've just tried unplugging and replugging the memory,

Attempted booting from the 4.1 Final CD ... again... dead after Kickstart without a Boot Logo.

no apparent change that I can detect...

I'm considering experimenting with changing out kmod versions where I can see it being possible at this ...

I know I have previously discussed Kickstart boot failures...

and as the topic points out... I have run into this *again*...

My sam440flex is currrently only booting from an 80GB SATA disk with 4.1u1 installed...

AmigaOS 4.1 Final [cd-rom] / 4.1Final Update1 [HDD] or 4.1Final Update2 [HDD] *all ...

Not that complicated...

Using a second HDD... I booted and re-installed clean-slate from the Installer CD...

I then duplicated the Boot Entry for the OS on the clean-slate.

I then applied AmiUpdate and updates on the clean-slate... which led me into the exact same error condition as my main drive ...

I have a USB3 XHCI controller card in PCI format that uses an 8112 bridge chip for the PCI-Ex1 USB3 chip to connect to the system,
the bridge controller is stable and apparently autoconfigured during the OS startup without any issues...

So I think your graphics card options with the bridge ...

@nbache:

The "logical test" you proposed is irrelevant,

TEST: Two Kicklayout Entries, with "Update2" specific kmods in Sys:Kickstart/u2/ and configured appropriately,

Implementation:
Attempt to boot "AmigaOS4.1FE+U1" and "AmigaOS4.1FE+U2" entries independently *without* Startup-Sequence script ...

Do you have any adapter cable for a BeagleBoneBlack or RaspberryPi to be used for exactly that purpose?

If I had such a cable for the BBB I would already be dumping logs for bootstrap xhci.usbhcd testing... instead of messing around with updates

And how can Startup-Sequence or WBstartup programs ...

Okay...

Results ---
Hand-updating AmigaOS 4.1 Update1 -> Update2
Kernel module updates halt booting.

Using the Installer from 4.1U1 - > 4.1U2
Kernel module updates halt booting.

Use of AmiUpdate...
Shows "AmiSSL" and "MiniGL" updates (Before AND after having updated both already)
regardless of ...

That would be nice...

I have the Update1 Kernel modules with a fully installed Update2 level of compatability for everything else,
I had to "hand repair" the Kickstart folder by copying the 4.1FE CD Kickstart content to the "SFS0"="SYS":Kickstart/ folder on my Harddisk,

AmiUpdate shows *nothing ...
