Problem installing 3.20 on X5000

    Hello Folks, I am new here.

    I would like to install MorphOS on an X5000 but I am stuck.

    A couple of years back I had a USB or a DVD and used MorphOS now and then, but I never managed to install it to the internal storage. That's why I never bought a license.
    Since then I did not change anything hardware wise.

    Yesterday I downloaded version 3.20 and successfully wrote the image on a USB stic using "rawwrite", however I can not boot the system. These lines appear on the screen:

    MirphOS boot loader version 1.17
    Select a boot partition:
    * 1. HDIMG0: (boot priority 15)
    2. DH0: (boot priority 0)
    3. DH1: (boot priority -1)
    Timeout, booting from HDIMG0:
    Trying to load "bootcyrusplus.img" from "HDIMG0:"....
    Loaded "bootcyrusplus.img" from "HDIMG0:", booting...

    And then it stops there.

    I can reset the system using CTRL-Amiga-Amiga, so apparently the system does not freeze.

    I re-wrote the image to the USB using "dd" this time, but the results are the same.

    Any idea what I am doing wrong?

    Unfortunately I can not burn a DVD in order to try out the liveCD.

    Any help appreciated!

    Murphy.

    Might help if you would specify the exact config, which GPU what kinda drives and so on.

    Or just try another USB stick which might make a difference as it seems to fail at a point where MorphOS takes over from the bootloader.
