Hi listers,
I am frustrated as all get out at this point.
I installed YDL 3.0 on my stock 6400 (it took like 4 hours!) and it runs
nicely with a Voodoo3 card but quite slowly under X. My primary use for
this machine is as a nice quiet server and it does this quite well. I
got the Newer L2 G3 upgrade card in the mail today and installed it
under OS 9. It runs nicely. I tried to boot into YDL using BootX and
it locks up tight without showing the dog graphic, plus the HD does not
spin back up.
I have tried using the PowerLogix software as well. So far I have not
changed my BootX settings. The G3 enabler loads, then the PowerLogix
init, and then the BootX. I resedit-ed the PowerLogix init to a
filetype of scri so that the three load first, and in that order. It
still locks up tight.
Is there anyway to get YDL to boot properly using my G3? I would like
to use YDL as a desktop from time to time and the G3 would allow this
nicely as it is QUITE fast under OS9.
So does anyone have another trick? Are there boot arguments that I can
use or something?
Thanks,
Scott Strungis
