The AmigaOS 3.9 (including BB2 update) "AmigaOS ROM Update" doesn't work with the WarpEngine. It's probably the new exec.library in the "AmigaOS ROM Update". I haven't heard of anyone getting around this problem.


Ehmm, then I would be the first one I guess. My A4000 w/WarpEngine works fine with OS3.9 (can't remember which BoingBag version installed though). In fact it is the most stable machine I have ever used.

As for exec.library you can stop setpatch from loading it by adding SKIPROMMODULES "exec.library" to the setpatch line.

That's good news if the ROM update is actually installed.


I'll see if I can get it checked this weekend.

You should have version info in the Workbench as Thomas wrote...


Not quite. If only BoingBag1 is installed, version will still report Kickstart 40.68/3.1. It's first switched to Kickstart 3.9 with BoingBag2 installed.

@dangermouse

Glad you got it sorted out. I would recommend you to take advantage of the SCSI controller on the WarpEngine, as it gives a great speed increase compared to IDE.

I'm a couple of days short, and dangermouse beat me to it, but here it is...A picture says more than thousand words.

NOTE: The screenshot will be taken down during the next 14 days.
