X1000 will not boot/CFE mess?

Post by Shamron »

Hi there.

A few years ago, i was playing around with Linux and change my CFE boot commands. Now I've remove all disks in my X1000 and want to install AmigaOS 4.1FE on a samsung 850 evo. But the Amiga will not boot from cd. I have connected the samsung to the bottom left sata and the cd-rom to the top left one. This is how my CFE looks like.

The error i get is amigaboot.of not found. I do NOT get the out of memory error. Should the atapidevice be number 0,0 and not 0,1 perhaps? Whats the easiest route to fix this?

Sometimes the DVD drive isn't connected to atapi0.1 but maybe to atapi0.0. With the CFE command "show devices" in your screenshot you can see that your DVD drive is connected to atapi0.0.

Please change the CFE variable "MENU_1_COMMAND" to "setenv amigaboot_quiet Y ;boot -fs=iso atapi0.0:amigaboot.of".

Code: Select all

MENU_1_COMMAND=setenv amigaboot_quiet Y ;boot -fs=iso atapi0.0:amigaboot.of

@Shamron

I can see that you have your addresses wrong:

Picture 2 shows that
ide is set to address 0.1
and
atapi is set to address 0.0

but Picture 3 shows that you´ve set up yor drives the other way round

ide0.0
and
atapi0.1

You need to switch the numbers around and it should work

Thanks for the replies. Do i need to alter the uboot/cfe, or CAN i Just swap the sata cable on the drives? I have been googling for the cfe commands and how to change the boot commands, but i am a bit scared to do something wrong. I wish there was a way to reset the cfe to default instead of having to re-enter the setenv - p and so on.

Switching cables should work.

If not:

setenv -p MENU_0_COMMAND "setenv amigaboot_quiet Y ; boot -fs=amigafs ide0.1:amigaboot.of"
setenv -p MENU_1_COMMAND "setenv amigaboot_quiet Y ; boot -fs=iso atapi0.0:amigaboot.of"

edit: fixed the atapi entry

Yeah, it´s messed up.
You could try to choose the menu item 2 in the boot menu.

But in the long run it´s better to fix your CFE boot entries

edit:

ah, wait a sec, your atapi entry is wrong

You have set it to
setenv -p MENU_1_COMMAND "setenv amigaboot_quiet Y ; boot -fs=amigafs atapi0.0:amigaboot.of"
while it needs to be
setenv -p MENU_1_COMMAND "setenv amigaboot_quiet Y ; boot -fs=iso atapi0.0:amigaboot.of"

I had it wrong too in my command examples (fixed), sorry about that.
The iso amigaboot.of is read from a different address, thats why it fails from the CD media

Yes, this is the correct command. Sorry I forgot to wrote this command in my post above.

This is the DVD drive part of the output of c:NVGetVar on my X1000:

Code: Select all

MENU_1_COMMAND=setenv amigaboot_quiet Y ;boot -fs=iso atapi0.0:amigaboot.of
My DVD drive is also connected to atapi0.0.

Thank you guys SO much. This worked. I do get a drq error at start, but this doesn't seem to matter. :-)

This is the result. If you ever come to Norway, I'll buy you a beer. :-)
