Hm, so the card is recognized, that's weird.
Can you make a serial log at debug level 7 from the boot process? Thank you.

When we were testing AmigaOS 4.1 Classic, we had several Radeon cards from Elbox. I had two that worked ( A Radeon 9200 64MB, and a Radeon 2950 256MB) and Carl had at least one other model. Those cards were purchased probably a year ago.

Now it seems in the last few months Elbox has been shipping different Radeon cards, and unfortunately it appears that some of them don't work properly with the x86 emulator or ATIRadeon.chip.

There is nothing we could really know about this - Elbox is probably buying small batches of (different) Radeon cards and as everyone knows there are 100's of different types of Radeon cards out there by different manufacturers...

All I can say is that we DID test Radeons purchased directly from Elbox and they worked....but the latest batches don't seem to work :-/

You need a serial connection to the machine, or use the memory debugger.

When booting AmigaOS, add "DEBUGLEVEL=7" to the bootloader command line.
After booting, enter "dumpdebugbuffer ram:debug.log"
This should give you a file in the ram disk that contains the log.

@Hans-Jörg

First Card is my Voodoo3000
Second my Radeon 9200 with 256MB
Third a Realtek 8029
and fourthly a SB128

I know i don´t should use two gfx card at the same time,but this is the single way to test it

I don't think the kernel will boot with two PCI gfx cards installed....

Probably not. It will most likely run out of PCI space in this case.

Remove the Voodoo and see if that helps.

I had tried it without Voodoo,than i have big gfx errors i can´t see anything on the screen.
I have this config to use Os4.1Classic and hope i can give you the debug file

Normally i have this config:
First Radeon 256MB
Second RTL 8029
Third SB128

@Hans-Jörg
How did i come into the bootloader command line?

You can enable serial debug output by following my instructions here:

http://www.hd-zone.com/2011/05/how-to-s ... 1-classic/

Basically you edit your s:startup-sequence and add some commands to the C:Bootloader line.

Like:

C:Bootloader COMMANDLINE="DEBUGLEVEL=7 SERIAL BAUDRATE=57600"

You connect a serial cable from your Amiga to another computer and capture the serial output on that computer using a terminal program set to 57600 8-N-1 in this example. You will start to see serial output after the AmigaOS 4.1 kernel loads and the Amiga resets and starts to load AmigaOS 4.1 Classic.

It would, but since the address space available to PCI is limited, two large cards such as a Voodoo (32 or 64 MB) and a Radeon (256 MB+) would already fill more than the 512 MB of address space available (due to alignment restraints).
