LoadWB freezes completely with Update3

[fastbit66]

@Spectre660:

Well I installed everything from scratch including update2.
So far everything works - excluding minigl apps - but I could never manage them to work since my on-board gfx died and I use pci gfx card.
I can live with this - even it's a pitty.

All screen modes work so far well under update2.
So i dared it again and installed U3 BUT....freezze.......

At this point I think I go on with Update2 - this works really good.
Having no USB 2.0 is acceptable - even it's a pitty.

But I really like to try out the new MUI OWB - but I guess for this Update3 is mandatory - at least the MUI classes.

Can I get the newest classes elsewhere or can I install U3 to another location then sys: and copy all new classes from there?

Thanx a lot !

Just curious.

When you get to the last step in the Up3 process, are you un-checking the box that says something about
rebooting before clicking the Finalize in the lower right corner?

If not then give it a try, switching the computer completely off to reboot afterwards.

Your issue may have something to do with the uboot settings for using a PCI Graphics card in a Sam 440ep. You might be able get Acube's help here.

I can enter the early startup control and boot without startup-sequence.

Following on from AmigaWorld, how far does the Startup-Sequence get? At what command does it freeze?

[Spectre660]

Another thing may be the dual graphics card setup from Acube .

@All:

Thanx a lot so far for all your hints and time.

I installed update3 again and unchecked the last box to reboot and restartet the Amiga by switching off and on again.
Unfortunately the same problem ...

But I managed to find at least the command in startup-sequence that causes the lock:

It's c:LoadMonDrvs

When I uncomment it the system comes up into a 640x480 Workbench screen !

Is that maybe the point to look further?

In addition I mailed to Acube if they can provide me with u-boot settings but haven't got an answer yet.

Yes that's a point have you updated your SAMep to 1.3.1d?

http://www.acube-systems.biz/download/S ... 110215.zip

Have you done this?

And do you activate this in WBStartup?

Please excuse me if anything has already been covered just looking at all the update options

@Slayer:

I have uboot 1.31d and everything else set up!

Now I can use a resolution up to 1280x1024 with 256 colors pretty stable.
With RGB colors it's not stable - sometmimes freezes sometimes not.
ARGB32 is not possible at any resolution.

BUT it's a big step forward !!!

Thanx a lot for all your help.

Do you think there are still things left that can be tuned to run the system stable wirh RGB Colors?
ARGB32 is not mandatory.

Sounds like it could still also be be a video card issue.
I had the same resolution limits with my defective card.
Try the GFXbench2d program again with the 16 bit and 32 bit screen options after booting with the 8 bit screen and see if it finishes ok.

@Spectre660:

These test all fail only 8 bit modes are okay with gfxbench2d.

But why did the card work correctly under update2 ???
There I coul use any mode?
