I've tried to use SCSI card on my AmigaOne XE
It is Tekram DC-390F with 53C875 chipset.
I get u-boot error message and then Amiga reset itself.
This SCSI card works OK in PC.
What is the problem here?
I know it is in u-boot and what it does.
But it is for OS4 to recognize SCSI not for u-boot itself.
And it is needed to show OS4 DeviceID of the SCSI card if it is different than 0x000F
My Tekram has DeviceID 0x000F so this env variable is not needed here.
My other SCSI card has DeviceID 0x000C and in this case I've used this variable.
I never tried a scsi card in my Aones, but have you ever tried Uboot1.1.1?
The version which you use is a betaversion, its Uboot1.1.4. on the Hyperion-Homepage is only Uboot 1.1.1 available. Perhaps your problem will be solved with the 1.1.1 Version.
first try to check what DEVICE value has your SCSI card, mine:
Shell/CLI:
pciscan shows:
..
13 0x1000 0x0001 LSI Logic / Symbios Log 53c810
..
my DEVICE value is 0001
Under UBOOT:
UBoot prompt, enter "PCI SCAN", and look at the line with a PCI vendor code of 0x1000. The
product code is the figure next to 0x1000. It may be anything, usually it will be 0x0001, or 0x000C, or 0x000F
etc.
create an UBOOT variable called:
lsi53c8xx_override=<value> (in my case 0001)
to create the var under Shell/CLI:
nvsetvar lsi53c8xx_override=0001
( '=' not mandatory yo can left a blank sapce)
under UBOOT:
setenv lsi53c8xx_override=0001
saveenv
to see under UBOOT the vars type:
printenv
and should see the new 'lsi53c8xx_override=0001' env-variable.
This env variable is not the issue here.
It will not change the way my SCSI card is recognized by u-boot. It is for OS4 only.
My problem is that u-boot hangs with SCSI card connected.
After displaying the message (captured using serial cable) the A1 reset itself, message is displayed again and it repeats until I power down the computer and disconnect SCSI card.
I was hoping to get answer as what this u-boot message means? What is wrong with the SCSI card or u-boot?
Did you try plugin such card in different PCI slot on the AOne?
All Uboot versions you tried, showed same msg/error?
Maybe the card is incompatible on A1. visit http://www.intuitionbase.com/comphard.php?category=7 maybe it helps
