Was happly playing around with my A3000, compiling a new Linux kernel
for the beast!
with one ?
(It's towerd) After getting a brand new X-Surf network
card a few weeks ago... Leave her alone, and turned off for a few days.
is this card supported in kernel.org ?
Come back to the system, and she's dead jim! (Star Trek pun
intended).
not pun :)
Strip the hole system down to just the motherboard and riser card (So
out comes the X-Surf, Cybervision 64, A2091 [Has my cdrom on it], Cyberstorm MK1 68060, 128mb ram).. Run some test's, get the nice kickstart
boot screen with insert floppy.. Coool,
yes it nice as long it works
things might workout to just be a dead Accelerator card..
but a3000 is still a 68030 with mmu so linux m68k is possible
there is now m68knommu in kernel.org :=)
Couple of days latter (when I had the time to spare), run more
test's.. Boot up with just a workbench disk, and nothing else hooked to the beast...
succes ?
A few minutes latter and the &^%^%$& thing has locked up frozen (cant do squat).
time for debug, but that needs full debug via serial or full enabled as so in kernel, else its hard to find what happend
Wish there was someone closer with another A3000 or A4000 to test
things in (the closest I know of is MAUG [Melbourne Amiga Users Group] 120K's away.
i like to travel olso, but there is longer then to mars from me to you :)
So I might get a working system one day... Have been sending email's
back and forward to Jean in france...
there is a repair center there ?
So half my gear is going to have to take a world trip just to get board level work done on it...
super ok if it works later
Then if i'm lucky it's fixable...
yes, we lost the battle :(
