That's the one, saveenv.

For some reason, it's still automatically going into the UBoot preferences meaning I have to exit those before it boots, but I'l have a look at that tomorrow.

Thanks for the help everyone, FuZion.

Set all delays to 1, if you have less then one it will enter the UBOOT menu.

@FuZion

That's a misbehaviour i also encountered at the beginning

Look in the UBoot menu for "Initial Boot delay", this
must not be "0", rather put the value to "1" or higher,
you'll have to wait that time, but it will go straight
through then.

If the value is "0" UBoot will always load in the menu,
dunno why...

I already reported that on the AOS4 ml far back, but it
seems to have missed the betatesters, maybe it's already
fixed, though?

edit: Heh, LiveForit beat me...

Correct guys.

I changed the "Initial Boot Delay" from "Immediate" to "1 second" & we're back to normal now.

Ok, one cut finger (Bloody thing bit me!) & a few settings updated & I'm nearly there.

Bus 0: is timing out (I imagine this is the onboard), even thought I've changed the settings to use the Sil card & after all my devices are scanned (2 hard drives & 2 cd drives), the UBoot preferences menu is coming up automatically. I habe to escape out of that to continue the boot process.

Any final suggestions?

FuZion.

You don't need to deal with these hassles.....why not just sell it?

Hehe, after an A1 are we?

Changing a battery's no big deal really. Finding out it was the battery was the hard part but it's something I'll remember in future.

Not too shy to talk

Hi FuZion,

Only just read this as I had my own scare also! I'm glad
these good guys here helped you out!

My PSU died yesterday, but not so much that it was totally
dead just sending pulses of electricity to the main board.
Causing the internal speaker to go mad and the machine to
not start.

Ordered a new PSU and fitted today - thank goodness the
board didn't get fried or anything.

I'm back up and running as well now! Phew, I need a backup
machine.. (fingers crossed for some good hardware/OS4 news
in the next few months).

Cheers,
Bean.

OS4.1 + an A1XE with an appetite for batteries!

The clock has been losing it's time a little, would that be the same battery? (Flat button things aren't they?).

Yes.

Quite a regular

There are three env-variables that control the order of boot attempts: Boot1, Boot2 and Boot3

Normally you would set Boot1 to be CD (so that you can always boot from CD after an accident), Boot2 to HD (normal) and Boot3 to whatever else you are likely to use (floppy, USB, ethernet, etc).

You can use the menu to set these variables, but it is tricky to get into and out of it without losing contents, eg every time you enter the menu it erases Boot2 and Boot3.
You can always do it by hand from the U-Boot shell and make sure you save it afterwards.

If you are using sii for you main HD, I would suggest:

setenv boot1 psiiCDROM
setenv boot2 psii
setenv floppy
saveenv

Is there any way to save the current UBOOT settings
to a text file somewhere? This would be a prudent
measure against future battery failure causing the
settings to be lost.
