#Yellow screen blues
3 messages in this thread
My A3000 is refusing to talk to me.
It is one of the early ones with the kickstart on disk.
It starts up ok, but after the message "loading kickstart 2.x, reboooting
system", the rebooting starts, the screen turns yellow, the power light
flashes a few times and the screen goes black. There is no more activity
from the hard disk. All help appreciated.

Pete,
Yellow is one of the "strange" indications. It means that the CPU has
found an error, before the error trapping (GURU) software was up and running.
My first suspicion would be the KS disk itself, some problem with it.
Fairly easy to check out…try another KS disk (presuming you have the
original).

Don,
I should have said "kickstart on hard disk". I do have a kickstart on
floppy, though, and did try it. No luck. A friend at Commodore Belgium
muttered something about co-processor problem, so I am going to sling it
back and let the technicians have a look. thanks for the reply.
