Running the eastern command from a shell, it's complaining about icon.library v52 needed... Doesn't it come with AOS4_Final ?
Jerry
that's what came with the final update:
version icon.library full icon.library 52.2 (10.12.2006)
let me guess: you did not install on a clean partition like suggested? the final update was designed to be installed on a clean partition only... upgrading was not supported
It was a brand new HDD... Though I also had a second HDD connected with an old backup of my system on it but surely that should not matter(?)...
// I just checked on the CD I used for the install and it says ?11/01/2006 at 11:08:42 for the DateTime of the icon.library in the Libs folder (same than the one installed)

You need to boot using the kickstart files on the CD and not some old kickstart that's on your harddrive or the installation won't work correctly.
Also you should install OS4 final on an empty harddrive partition. Easiest way is to boot from CD then quick format the system partition or delete all files (before that you might want to make a backup of the files on another partition, f.e. Work:Backup/OS4upd4/).
Booting the kickstart from CD is done from U-boot commandline using commands (IIRC):
After the UBoot screens... The whole screen went black ! Rebooted a few times, but the same results occurred !
Is the CD drive being accessed (i.e. sound, drive light flashing)? If so you need to wait.
CD-Rom is a much slower medium than a harddrive so booting from the CD will take a while and during some of that time the screen will be black (between when kickstart has finished loading and the workbench screen showing up), or at least that's the way it was for me.
20 minutes is much too long. If it really takes that long then you have other problems.
Do you see the kickstart progress bar go from 0 to 100% before the screen goes black?
If you boot from your current install (or an older OS4 CD) and insert the OS4 final CD does it show up on Workbench and can you access it? I guess you could try doing this test to see if the CD was burned correctly as IIRC some people had problems with this (not me though).

It's indeed what I thought...

When I saw the UBoot screen, I went to my shower...

I currently have an older version (Update 4) loaded. And I can see the newly burned CD and browse it. No problem.
Tonight I will try the: setenv boot1 cdrom boota

Some users have reported problems with certain Radeon cards and the use of interrupts. The cure has been to turn off the interrupts in the monitor driver tooltypes, but of course, you need to install it first :/

Actually it's not a problem to install final without booting from it's CD.
I installed it from a 'mounted' iso, far quicker :)
What you can do is boot normally, backup your existing boot partition, install OS4 final to ANY empty partition. quick format sys: then copy KICKSTART first then everything else from the final partition to the sys: partition.
doing it that way may seem weird but it keeps your A1 in an 'unusable state' for the shortest possible time, and if the worst happens, e.g. power cut... you should be able to load kickstart and use the boot with no startup option (hold down ctrl) and get to a shell to finish the copy process.

I had to do that for OS4final. The monitor driver on the CD is set to no interrupts, whereas after installation it is set to use interrupts. If it boots from the CD and works correctly, this is almost certainly the problem.
