Hello all

I'm resentle bought a new pegasos with a 1G Kingston SDRAM PC133. 250G HD, a ATI raedon 9200 (witch i use the 9000 drives), and a DVD player and a DVD + and - writer.

When i turn the machine on it came with a nice screen without problems.
--btw: I used the Pegasos - QUICKSTART Guide
at: http://www.morphos-news.de/beta2help/qstart_en.html


ok ls /pci/ide/cd (this works)
ok boot /pci/ide/cd boot.img (this is not working)

I get the screen i espected but he don't want to start the Ambient screen, the GUI of MorphOS.

This is what I have done...
- change a diffrent CDROM and disconn. the CDRW
- tried other memory kingston 250MB SDRAM PC133
- tried diffrent Harddisk (not if that matther but it is possible)
- And i played with diffrend master-slave-primair-secundar ports.

Is there anyone who can tell me what i do wrong??

I had the same problem when I tried to get my Pegasos working. In my case it was the cdrom-drive, as the 4th drive I tried loaded the boot.img correctly.

Maybe the Radeon9200 isn't recognized correctly
because it uses another ID.

Best would be if you came to #morphos on ArcNet.
See this page for more info or use the built in webchat at MorphZone.

Are you sure that the Radeon 9200's RV280 is supported by MorphOS? According to http://www.vgr.com/cybergfx/supportedboards.html and http://www.pegasosppc.com/files/MorphOS_FeatureList_20030516.pdf only the RV100, R100, RV200, R200 and RV250 are supported.

I tried first the ATI 7000 from a neightbour who has one, and i ordered a 9200 with 9000 drivers. that could work in theorie because it is downwards compatible.

btw: i am a dummy with internet, and espesially with an IRC client witch i am currently try to use but no luck...

I was luck with a computterstore. I tried diffrend products in the peggy but the whole instalation crashes everytime by the boot.img

maybe I should wait in the morphos 1.4 on friday perhaps he got a nice warm boot.img that wants to be eten by a pegasos.

for now i am stocked with a horrible PC from my parents..

SSSMoves: When you're trying to boot, does the screen with the
butterfly show up? Or do you still have the commandline prompt
visible? Or does everything go black?

He is still hanging on the commandprompt...
If i press enter after typed the boot.img line
then the dvd-rom goes loading again and again
and than the moment that i thing that he goes
to the ambient screen there happens nothing..

poor me...

btw: everything i change on the peggy, alwais
he hangs on the same thing.

Try to use the "IRC Webchat" on the right hand side of MorphZone to access IRC. Just click the login button, and you should be on IRC in the correct channel for help.

I have similar problem ... When I type "boot /pci/ide/cd boot.img" CDROM was reading ... and after while everything freeze. The problem was old CD-ROM. Try to change yor CD/DVD-ROM for another one...

What type of cd-rom have you used..
I tried diffrend cd-roms and dvd players
because i had lucky a computter store who
let me change diffrend components...

I tried 7 CD-ROM's before I found one that worked. Also I found that position of the CD-ROM in the drive train is important too. Some drives only worked as IDE0 master, others only as a slave, yet others only worked on IDE1....

@SSSMoves

How is it going? Any luck so far? If not keep trying and keep feeding the info so that we can help you. Nothing worse then a Peg user who cannot get it working.

The good command line is boot /pci/cd boot.img


there is no /ide in command line

or boot boot /pci/ide/cd@x,y:0 boot.img

x=0 or 1 (ide primary or secondary)
y=0 or 1 (master or slave)

Try again and keep us informed

write at jehret@fr.genesi.lu for more help

I'm having a nice hollyday through whole europe
so i was not albe to replying to the postst.

I have now a raedon 9200 and i am really sure now
that this not works, also it take time to borow
a 7000 or 8500 to try again....

So i hope to hear from me again for this week and
try again to let my peggy work

@SSSMoves

Keep us posted. And when it runs again into a freeze/crash give a detailed hardware description here so that we can help you out. Maybe you did, but keep to the listed (working) hardware.
