Sometimes the X1000 doesn't boot [SOLVED]

[zappa2009]

Yes it very useful.

You see the intial Phase of the Board thru it on an Other Computer (I hve a 1200 for that with Trem4.8 )
With a Nvidia-GFX instand a Radeon i see CFE hangs after RAM-Check.

And so a Serial-Cabel is easy to made and cost nearly nothing.
I have ordered my X1000 with it.

Yes, I have one and it works well.
But for this issue, is it useful if no power come from the x1000 ?

Check my signature; nothing else add-on.

Do you have a debug serial cable for your X1000?

No I don't.

No I don't.

Unplug everything except power and vga, then do some cold starts and tell us was happened.

How long are you waiting before restarts?

Chris, if you're asking me, normally the X1000 logo appears in less 5-6 secs, no more.

Hello,

my problem is, when I switch from linux to AOS4.1.6, sometimes the X1000 hangs here completely .
All fans are running and nothing else happens, no splash-screen, the screen is black.
I can not reset the computer or switch it off. I have to take it from the power supply system.

This happens too, when the computer is not being used for a few days.
With the serial - debug - kabel and a terminal program running on my linux laptop, there is no output,
when the X1000 is swtched on and it hangs during the initialization phase.
I see an output when the computer starts with no problem.

(Excuse my bad english, I hope it is a litle bit understandable )

regards

THW

Maybe the bootproblem is solved. What stands in your CFE? 1800MHZ or 500MHZ? Please test it with 500MHZ in CFE

Can I start OS4.1 with 1.6 GHz?

Can I start OS4.1 with 1.6 GHz?

Yes, you should be able to adjust A4 speed.
But I dont advise messing.

EDIT;
You can emit the line completely. It was added to increase CFE / Initialisation boot speed.
Enter these commands into CFE;

unsetenv speed
setenv -p STARTUP "menu"

Then reset.

It is not needed for OS4.1. As OS4.1 automatically clocks CPU to 1.8GHz (see Ranger and Early Boot Menu)

The reason we haven't gone down this route, is simply because it shouldn't give the issue you are experiencing.
