[comp.sys.amiga] A1000 Powerup problem

rjm10838@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (05/10/89)

Here's a little problem I've been having lately with my 1000:

I turn on the machine, pop in the Kickstart, and things go as expected.
Once Kickstart is done loading, either one of two things happens:

     1). The Workbench disk picture comes up and everything works fine.

     2). The machine bombs, GURU #(lots of zeroes)4. After CTRL-A-A'ing
         it anywhere from 1 to fifteen times, the Workbench screen comes
	 up, and everything else works just fine.

What could it be? I have an A1000 with the Amazing Computing 512k upgrade
and a Wedge hard drive controller attached. I've had the memory for a
year and a half, and I've experienced no problems up until now. By the
way, a memory testing program says all of my memory is fine. Also, I
took out my hard drive controller, and the problem still happens.

Any help will be extremely appreciated.

Have you tried a different copy of Kickstart (another disk?)??
