I have just transformed all my partitions from FFS to SFS. I changed my DH0: partition to SFS by cycling through the filesystems from FFS to SFS.
I decided to do a reinstall to get a nice clean setup but now MorphOS wont boot past the MorphOS logo.
I have MorphOS on DH0: and the partition is set to boot.
I installed using the HD-install script and the install went without a problem.
To load MorphOS from Firmware i write "boot boot.img" and it loads the kernel fine but halts at the logo.
I formatet and verified the System partition just to be sure.
Any ideas? |

I have solved the problem. It seems that I had to change the screenmode to 800x600 when I was using the MorphOS boot cd. When i rebooted everything whent smooth  |

Well, it was'nt the solution afterall. 
I then tried to insert a "Wait 1" command before iprefs in my startup-sequence but I have a suspision that it is not the correct command. Now the system halts after booting the kernel and dos'nt get to the boot logo.
Wat is the exact wait command? |

There are different options here, I think by default Wait 1 should work as one sec delay, but Wait SEC=1 should too work.
There is an option that you create a partition where you place all your boot images, which you can have as FFS and then the rest of the partitions including your SYS: are SFS. The while I had both linux and morphos on my harddrive I had it this way, worked fine for me. Nowadays I do only use linux. |

I tried both Wait 1 and Wait SEC=1 both resulted in that the system could'nt get past loading the kernel.
Then I tried making a small boot partition and putting boot.img on here. Now the system halts at the MorphOS boot logo again.
Hmmm. Any suggestions?? |

As I don't use morphos anymore, I'm sorry that I can't help you much here.
It's a PegasosII you had, right?
Did you make the partition bootable/active where you have your system files? |

Yes i did. And since I can get to the MorphOS boot screen that can't be the problem - can it?
Just an short update:
I have the same problem (the system wont boot further than the MorphOS boot logo) no matter if I use the install script on the CD or copy the files manually from the CD using the cli command.
Furthermore I have also changed the RAM in my system just to be sure it is'nt RAM related. A strange - but nice - thing regarding my RAM happend when I changed from FFS to SFS. Under FFS I always get an RAM error when I try to use the install script on the MorphOS cd. The RAM checked out fine i Linux so it is ok - at least Vesalia says so  . But now when I have changed to SFS i get no RAM error and the install script works just fine .... strange but nice.
Well this problem is really beginning to piss me off. I stated with the goal of getting Quake 3 to run faster and now I have a system that wont boot ... life is a bitch.
To night I will copy my complete system backup files using cli to see if that helps.
I am really beginning to get desperate here. I would be sad to have to change back to FFS on my system partition to get things going.
@Gunne do you have any ideas?? Is there any way I can rule out a hardware failure? |

One thing that I remember, there used to be two boot images on the CD, you checked that you have the right one, so it's not the one for PegasosI ?
Do you have linux? if so, does that boot normally?

You could just have a partition for games like Qauke2 and 3 which uses SFS, that way the game would benefit from the faster filesystem. |

Enough is enough for now.
I have changed my system partition to FFS and everything works fine again.
Explanations for my problem are still welcome |

I have now solved mt FFS/FFS problem.
The solutions was a Wait 1 before Iprefs in my startup-sequence. The reason that it didn't worked before was that I used a wrong editor.
When I booted form the CD i transfered the startup-sequence via AmigaExplorer to my PC and inserted the Wait command there. Unfortunately that corrupted the file - I later found out - and that was the reason it didn't work.
Thanks for all the help! |
