So now I'm sick, my computer now shows:
Board No. 4
Manufacture = 3643
Product = 32
Status = Defective
The scenario is thus that I ordered dumpdebugbuffer> ram: debug.txt can not run because my computer no longer boots with built ZorRam!
Is it possible the memory of the graphics card to use as a memory?
Yours sincerely,
Mika (Germany)

Re: Problems with 256 MB ZorRam
I think you are running into the autoconfig problem with the 3.x kickstart where it can have problems auto-configing two large cards.Mika wrote:So now I'm sick, my computer now shows:

In my system I have all mediator jumpers closed, the ZorRAM in the second to bottom Zorro III slot, and no other Zorro Cards.
In the Mediator I have from bottom to top:
-RTL8029 PCI
-256MB Radeon PCI
-Silicon Image 3512 PCI Sata
Try that and see if it works in your system.

PCI: Radeon 9200 with 256 MB in the second slot from the bottom
Zorro: DENEB in Pio mode (for Internet, mouse and keyboard) on the top slot
The ZorRam I've had in all free slots there, and yes I know this in order for Saturday!
All of my jumper Mediator http://www.elbox.com/products/mediator_pci_4000d.html closed!
Since I still have no supported sound card, I use Paula sound!

1) Remove DENEB
2) Close SWAP Jumper on Mediator - make sure all jumpers on mediator are CLOSED.
3) Leave ZorRAM installed in a Zorro slot.
Try to boot your system, see if ZorRAM is detected by "memstat" command at shell.
4) Get me Ranger PCI info of Radeon Card (memory ranges)
thanks

1) Oh where is my original mouse and keyboard
2) They are all closed
3) Is done!
Memstat output from the shell with the command, see photo.
The RAM disk is full now at 436 MB.
4) The Ranger issue, you can also see on the photos.
My guess is that the the Zorro slots have contact problems, the times I've blown out with compressed air, is just one of the first mediator boards
So here something different, still can see some pictures from the computer a couple of meetings where Radeon cards have been rebuilt, especially the soldering.

Ok so your ZorRAM is now recognized (The Deneb is out?).Mika wrote:Good morning, Darren,DarrenHD wrote:

Can you show me the RANGER output of your Radeon card under the "PCI BUS" tab ? I would like to see how much address space it is taking up.
thanks!!

After that I installed was detected ZorRam DENEB one slot lower, and then entered again memstat in the shell and the computer was functioning normally at the moment, I've done some cold starts!
PCI BUS tab, see photo.

Re: Problems with 256 MB ZorRam
Thanks, so that is telling me that your Radeon is taking 256MB + 65K + 256 bytes of address space inside of the 512MB of memory the Mediator is allocating - so you are OK for that.Mika wrote:How is the sum funny when memory is full?DarrenHD wrote: Ok so your ZorRAM is now recognized (The Deneb is out?).

As long as the Amiga is able to auto config the other Zorro cards then you are fine
AmigaOS 4.1 Classic can address upto 512MB of RAM, so you have 128MB physical ram, 256MB of ZorRAM, and I see you have a swap partition on scsi.device (which is not supported), you should set your swap partition on the scsi.device not to "automount". There is a checkbox to disable in Mediatoolbox for that.
But looks good!
