Looking for "SFS_1.252.lha", because people at morphos forum say, that its latest SFS, than work with MOS..


i guess you have got it in the wrong way.

1.252 is the one that gave problems with MOS for Pup

Install in the RDB the very latest one (1.279/68K) and QuickFormat the partition.

"Huh? What I remember is that MorphOS ends up using a 68K SFS if it's in the RDB with a version greater than whatever is built into the MorphOS boot image - and this leads to lockups with 1.279. (When would that have been fixed?)"

and so? Morphos for PowerUP starts with the 68k and requires a 68k filesystem in the RDB.

The "trick" you describe was intended to whom wish to use the native one (thats NOT a good idea in a multiboot enviroment)

The "problem" with failed boot, arisen with the SFS 1.252 os so (then fixed by the autor)

I have here SFS 1.279 all over the system without any problem

have you tryed to play with different resetlevel values in SYS:S/Startup-Sequence? (and set bootdevice as well)

; Bootdevice can be used to specify the MorphOS partition if you have more than one
; bootable partition and the MorphOS one doesn't have the highest boot priority. Remember
; to use partition names, not volume names! This option requires the 'bootdevice' keyword
; like in the example below:
; set bootdevice "bootdevice=DH1"
; Leave the var blank if you want to boot from the default boot partition!

set bootdevice "bootdevice=CDH9:"

; The resetlevel and delay variables are there for you to tweak if MorphOS startup doesn't
; reboot the machine properly after loading MorphOS files.
;
; The possible resetlevel values are:
; 0 exec/coldreboot (System Reboot)
; 1 MMU switch off + normal reset in chipram (default)
; 2 MMU switch off + double reset in chipram
; 3 MMU switch off + Cyberstorm HW Reset in chipram
; 4 for (;;);..waiting for manual reset by your hands:-)
; 5 MMU switch off + normal reset in fastram
; 6 MMU switch off + double reset in fastram
; 7 MMU switch off + Cyberstorm HW Reset in fastram

set resetlevel 5
set delay 1

ah ... and the very latest SYS:Boot/roms/module.com1 is bugged.

You have to use the one of the very first Morphos 1.4.5 release (10 August 2005)
