Title: scsi.device won't load/register
Post by: Shamron on August 23, 2014, 06:33:26 PM
Hi good folk. ☺

I have upgraded my A4000 with cyberstorm 060, mediator and spider. Recently i also installed bb3 and bb4. However, after bb4, my third partition is "not formatted" and when i check scsi.device version, it says 40.41 or 40.12, not sure.

I have followed Mfilos's wonderful guide about making your own customization rom, using Remus and splitrom-something. I include scsi.device 44.2 in the new rom, and it did not help. I tried  loadmodule scsi.device and skipromupdate scsi.device in Setpatch. I tried blizkicking scsi.device but no matter what, i end up with the same old 40.12 or something.

Anyone got an idea? Also, where do i find cosmos's scsi.device ppl talk about?

Thanks in advance.

Sham. -

Make sure that you use the version of scsi.device for A4000. If you use the one for A1200, it won't work.

Yeah, i am. I just renamed it from scsi(A4000).device to scsi.device and put it in both the custom rom, loadmodule and devs:

I extracted all the updates from the rom update if i remember correct, that means i can Setpatch noromupdate, right? Perhaps it loads an old device from the rom update? But it shouldn't though, since i put skipromupdate "scsi.device" ?

Sorry for quoting myself, i could not find any edit function, perhaps i wasn't logged in.

If you create a new kickstart with all the updatet bits and pieces from the extracted ROM update, and manage to boot from that one - then yes, you can use "noromupdate".

In an A4000 you could also install a zorro card that will hold kickstart modules :)

For A1200 there have been several projects, no idea of any of them ever turned into solid products. I believe they would work on A3000 and A4000 as well.
