Title: I'm giving up on Remus
Post by: AmigaMance on December 23, 2009, 04:24:12 PM: I have been trying to patch a standard 3.1 ROM image with many modules or system files (one at a time) and then softkick it with BlizKick. The result is always the same. Remus doesn't report a problem when i compile the new image, but i keep get an error message from blizkick, saying that it can't softkick the image. Blizkick works OK with ROM images that are not modified by Remus.
Any ideas on what i can do about it?

what error code does it report ?
AFAIR you can add the verbose option in blizkick command line...

Buffers are for external modules.
The error message is:
Quote
Couldn't kick file 'devs:kickstarts/rom3.1.remus'!
c:BlizKick failed returncode 10

There isn't a verbose option to my knowledge.

@matthey
Ok. I will contact him.

Right. I have tried that.

I can't make mumaprom to work at all for some reason. It asks for a .pch file, but nevermind about this.
I know that BlizKick is able to softkick such images. I tried to use the FORCE option. It doesn't work either.

It didn't help.

EDIT: Ok. Problem solved. It was all my fault.

Post by: Bamiga2002 on December 24, 2009, 10:21:38 AM: There was something in Remus or Blizkick docs that had info on kicking custom images. Can't remember but check both guides for help.
