Hello,

i have got a new EFIKA. I plugged
a Radeon 9250 and 2,5" IDE harddrive to it.

Than i tried to boot from usb stick, but it does not
work.

devalias says that the USb stick is at hd0.
show-scsi says that there is first the ide drive and
second the usb stick.

ls scsi
ls hd0
ls hd0:0

no content is shown :(
I formated the usb stick with vfat, fat32, ext2, ext3
nothing works. I have tried three sticks, same problem.

How should i configurate the usb stick that the partition is shown??
(cfdisk number??, bootable??, primary???), which
file system mkfs.???

I really do not know what i can do now, because i have
tested everything.

regards

eliot

Try asking in Power Developer, we have little (if any) experience with Efika, because this is a MorphOS forum, which currently only runs on Pegasos and Amigas.
What, you've already tried?

http://www.powerdeveloper.org/

does not exist?!

I clicked on your link and it worked fine...

try out other usb pendrive. Efika's smartfirmware USB stack is quite good but it doesn't recognize correctly all devices

I have tried three usb pen drives.
They are listed by show-scsi, but the partitions are
not found.

Should i really have a try with another
pen drive???

yes.

Ok,

i bought a new usb pen drive today and it worked.
There seems to be some problems in the OF to read the correct
partition table.
My be fixed some day?

I have the same problem. Which usb pendrivre did you bought ? What manufacturer ? Thanks.

I bought a pendrive from Atelco (no name) here in
Germany for 7,90 Eur.
The problem seems not the manufacturer but the partition
table of the pen drive.
Buy a new one, there you have got a clear partition
table and everything is fine.
Other solutions (withuot any costs) you can find here:

Isn't there any way of wiping completely the partition table in this kind of device? I understand that the regular "format" command is of no use...

Also, is the USB stack in SmartFirmware something like Poseidon, exactly Poseidon, or something completely different?
