OS4 and cdrom trouble...

Quote:
If IDETool shows 0 for "Total blocks" and "Blocksize" even if a CD is in the drive it's very likely broken, but to make sure it's really the drive and not a problem in the AmigaOS4 IDE drivers you could abort booting in U-Boot and enter "ide info" in the U-Boot shell (if the CD wasn't in the drive yet use "ide reset" after inserting it first), that will display which drives U-Boot detects and their sizes, if U-Boot can't get the size of an inserted CD either the drive is broken.

Yeah, it's broken then, Joerg... I tested it in uboot-shell and it didn't show anything...

Luckily I just bought a macmini so I can strip my old pc of it's dvd-burner and cd-rom drive...

Hopefully, this will do the trick!

Yes! Finally!

Up and running with OS4 final. Amazed by those beutiful icons. I just want to thank you all for the great help you've given me. I wouldn't have been writing this from Ibrowse 2.4 without you! Again, the community comes through, and this is why I came back those 18 months ago. That and OS4, of course.

It feels great! Just need to close the tower again and is back to way it should be.

Oh, one more thing. Everytime I start the Amiga, it goes straight to UBOOT prefs. Then I exit it and it boots smoothly to workbench. How do to get around it?
