AmigaOS 4.1 will not install

@Niolator

As i see you already load kernel.debug (4st line of your log), so that good , but you need to raise debug level at least to 5. As currently and by default you probably have 0-3 or something. You can do that in uboot. Something like:

setenv os4_commandline "serial munge debuglevel=5"
saveenv

You will need to check if sets correctly after, via "printenv os4_commandline" (or even do it before, to see how format looks like by default).

Then hard reboot is must (!), and you will have more detailed logs on serial. Later you can swith it to 0 or something back after deal with issue (to avoid slowdowns because of massive output to serial).

[Niolator]

It was so awkward putting together the setup needed to be able to produce the serial printout that I think I will wait with another try until I have received the HD 4890 card, in case it fails then too. I just won the auction so I hope that the seller sends the card shortly so I have it before Christmas.

[tonyw]

A debug level of 5 is a bit excessive (to start with). I would suggest a level of 1 first. That will at least enable debug output from the graphics driver without creating too much kernel output.
The kernel debug output at level 5 won't be any more useful than at level 1.

@Niolator
Anyway, remembering our betatests from past, im sure on 98% that is your graphics card which happens to be unsupported. It happens exactly as you say and show : loads everything, and just black screen with nothing. Just with raised debug level you exactly will see it , but without we can only guess, while still be on 98% sure that is graphics card

Probably, you (later) may try to write mail to Hans, and he can find what the differences in your card , and maybe add support for it in driver, but you then still need to raise debug level to see what happens and where exactly.

Alternatively, i have another idea: if you have exchanced CD (you should have it i think as you buy x5000), there is full radeonhd driver, which also (probably) of later version in compare with one on os4 installation CD. So, you may try manually do some mambo-jambo, and replace radeonhd driver from exhcanger cd to installation cd (if you know what and how to do it, of course), and trying to boot with it (in hope, that full and latest driver will make any difference). But you of course will need another machine where unpack iso, put new driver in, pack iso back, test, etc.

Please excuse me if this is a stupid question, but if the GFX card is unsupported, why does the early boot menu show but Workbench doesn't load?

Does uBoot and WB have different video drivers?

[kas1e]

@dawe
uboot probably need only some basic modes , while, when something wrong with hi-resolutions / their refresh rates / autodetection of modes , it can show ups like this.

[Niolator]

Please excuse me if this is a stupid question, but if the GFX card is unsupported, why does the early boot menu show but Workbench doesn't load?

I was wondering that too.

I will see if I can get a new serial readout tomorrow with debuglevel=1.

[tonyw]

The Early Boot Menu is using U-Boot's graphics driver and text output functions. OS4 has not been loaded at that stage.

OS4 is loaded as Kickstart and when the last line says "About to call loader entry...", that is when OS4 code actually starts to run, in the form of the Kickstart/Loader.

U-Boot uses a basic VESA mode with a framebuffer, but OS4 goes for the full monty, so if the Radeon driver does not support your card, all the world goes black.

[Niolator]

Here is the new serial readout with debuglevel 1:

A little funny that it says Radeon 7900-series as it is a series 7800 card.

[Niolator]

It seems as I have a rather special version of HD 7870. I have an XFX HD 7870 DD which uses the Tahiti chipset instead of Pitcairn which is normally used in HD 7870-cards. Tahiti is normally used in 7900-cards. This is probably why it is identified as a HD 7900-card. HD 7870-cards that utilizes the Tahiti chipset are also called HD 7870XT.
