Ok i understood no one can help... but i make some tests and i report my results

If i check the flag auto mount under hdtoolbox the 68k side fail yellow guru and some time ramlib crashes.
The Os3.9 become really SLOOOW and unstable.
The Sysspeed report the 060 /50 is 1,92 mips :-o
I have to enter to hdtoolbox uncheck the automount of swap ... boot the machine after entering in os4.1 i have to check this flag on in media tool box reboot and the swap start working...

Probably is a DMA problem?.....

The bottom line for me would be to get the actual system (including a functioning swap) up and running with the very basic configuration, then, and only then can you always return to a status quo that works. Otherwise we're going to be here forever in a day trying to anticipate and guess what works with what but only if this or that is removed or plugged in to that hole etc etc etc

Strip the machine back to the PPC card and an UW Scsi HD and a DVDRom OR a PPC Controller an IDE and CDRom attached to the MB etc, well, you get my drift? ;)

If I've missed something and you've already established this then you really need to start at the last time you have swap working and add and tinker from that point on

Slayer is correct. This is the way to pin down the problem. I would do a clean install of 4.1.2 and check for SWAP partitions problems with dead, cold reboots between each of the updates.

Then try to see what you are installing on the HDD that corrupts your booting.

Test 1:
Aos 4.1.2 installed on OLD ide HD 1.5gb (Ide internal A4000)
Swap active on the SSD (cyberppc.device)
"Everything seems working" without problems...
lets check if i made some updates of the system

Interesting read.
Good that you got a basic system running. Now, I await the next installment of your mini soap opera!

ahahahaha :)

Ok lets write.


all Os updates done.
Amiupdate too Done!

Everything running good and faster , the system now goes in full acceleration video mode and radeon use the 256 mb on it.
but ... im thinking ... how is possible ?
if i install on the SSD the Os the swap fail and the system become totally unstable some feature of the os are not working..
I have to use the scsi.device 4 ever?
Question 2 how to know how much is the page used by the swap?

This is an answer, but not to the question you asked; if you use a Z3 RAM expansion card (ZorRam/BigRamPlus) of 256MB, then I've found that (even when I purposefully tried) I could use up enough RAM to force use of my HDD SWAP partition.

i will buy for sure 512 mb of Z3 ram (4 now)... Big ram plus look like isnt compatible with mediator. Zoram is the way for have more ram on my miggy.
thanks
