Diffs in my CFE;
1. CFE_MEMORYSIZE 2048
2. STARTUP set pmu -astate=A4;menu (no separate 'speed')
3. NO os4commandline
Not sure about this, but 'speed' sets the variable to whatever, and 'STARTUP'
should then use that variable. So try....STARTUP speed;menu (with saparate speed setting)
I don't think it makes any difference, but
If your not using debug, why have it there(?)
Oh, and Welcome Aboard.

Thank you for your answer. The most settings are from Amigakit except Debian settings.

Perhaps they used debugging for testing and forgot to take it out?

A little tip... Try the c:nvgetvar command. it lists your CFE settings so you can just cut'n'paste the text instead of messing about grabbing screens and uploading them.
Does NVGETVAR: still work on the X1000 then, it has stopped doing so here ?
I just get the following message:
"NVGETVAR: Could not open nonvolatile.library V51."
I have 'nonvolatile.library 53.5' for the nonvolatile.library.kmod in Kickstart.

Always worked for me, even right now.
I also have 53.3 of nonvolatile.library and c:nvgetvar is working fine.
Make sure that you haven't got another version of nvgetvar lying around which is picked first.
Try explicitely "C:nvgetvar"

Try also
nvgetvar > ram:nv.txt
No ':' after nvgetvar.

I only have one file which is in c:, it is:
NVGetVar 52.1 (09/12/2006)
This looks a bit old - is there a newer version that I may have overwritten at some time ?

Same one I have. Works here.

Let snoopy run and see where the culprit lies...maybe you miss something nonvolatile.library is looking for?

Check kicklayout and make sure there is not a semicolon in front of nonvolatile.library.kmod,
if there is then it's not being loaded.

Aha. There was no entry at all for the novolatile.library.kmod !
Edit: Adding the entry back has done the trick
