Problem with DVD drive and U-Boot
Posted: Tue May 09, 2017 1:03 pm
Hi all!
I gpt my Cyrus+ last week (after a loong waiting...), and have now the X5000 up and running . Great machine, thank you for all the members of the 'X5000 group', you have done excellent work!
I have already been able to boot the machine with Ubuntu Live USB, but have not yet been able to install AmigaOS. For some reason U-Boot cannot boot from the DVD-Drive I have (Toshiba-Samsung DVD-ROM TS-H353C Rev. FS01).
If I just put the 4.1 Install CD in the drive (or ANY other CD or DVD disk!) and boot the machine, it just hangs after showing the boot screen, reaching never the animation... (Thus, it not possible acces to the boot menu or comand line either, they are not accesible even from the keyboard). Only way out is to eject the disk and reboot...
Without any disk in the drive, the machine boots normally, and the bootmenu can be opened. From comand line, 'SCSI reset' and 'SCSI info' comands work ok and show the DVD drive correctly. But if I then again put OS 4.1 CD in the drive, and choose to boot AmigaOS, U-boot just says there are not bootable disks. And if I run now the 'SCSI Reset' comand, the system hangs for ever as it did when I tried to boot with a disk in the drive...
The drive itself and cabling are fully ok, as it can be accessed and used normally from Ubuntu 16.04 Live, after booting fom a USB disk!
So, is there some configuration operation which should be done to get a DVD drive work and boot with U-Boot?
(U-Boot in my machine is 2014.4, oct. 2016)
There was not any other manual than the Hardware Reference manual included with the Cyrus+... Where could I find some guide or tutorial how to use/adjust the X5000 bootmenu? I am not a programmer, so just a raw list of commands does not help me much .
Speaking of lists. is it somehow possible to get the listings in U-boot comand window 'paged', so the you have time to see what is actually coming on the screen...? And is there some 'break' comand to stop the execution of currently running comand? (like ctrl c or d in AmigaDos)
