Title: SetPatch bug
Post by: MickJT on November 02, 2010, 02:19:37 PM

Seems I can't use SKIPROMUPDATES scsi.device AND also SKIPROMMODULES at the same time.

There doesn't seem to be any alternative as well. Any ideas?

Which version of SetPatch are you using ?

SKIPROMMODULES is an alias for SKIPROMUPDATES, you can use only one at a time. If you want to skip multiple modules/updates, put them in quotation marks, seperated by commas.

For example

setpatch quiet skipromupdates "scsi.device,shell"

or

setpatch quiet skiprommodules "scsi.device,shell"

Both lines do exactly the same.

This does *not* work:

setpatch skipromupdates "scsi.device" skiprommodules "shell"

Hmm. It wasn't working before. I must have made a typo, or reset too quickly. Previously i'd always be on scsi.device v43 unless using SKIPROMUPDATES scsi.device

You have to switch off the machine in order to change the ROM updates. If the ROM update is already loaded into memory, it will not be changed by an edited command line.

I was already aware of that. Must have been a typo (I *have* removed and put the line back in since).
