hi,

i have some problems getting afa_os to run.
when i install it and add the afa_os_loader to the s-s
my system halts during boot (no errors/info whatsoever)
or when i get the WB shown i get an empty screen with only the titlebar,

im running:

OS3.9
Birdie
VisualPrefs
Powericons
Fullpalette
Blizkick (with homemade 44.1 rom) with patches

anyone had this problem before ?

Yep

You run ATE, right?

When I use to run it according to it's docs I had the same probs...it's better to run VisualPrefs, FullPalette, Birdie "on their own" for it to work.
I can post my startup-sequence if you want.
A helpful tip is also to check how they are set up in AmiKit..there's so many patches there running together and you can learn alot by studying how it's set up

yeah i tried looking at amikit s-s

can't find much wrong with mine however and i discarded ate (i think, i dont know how much "garbage" it leaves on my system)

im also running WarpDT  datatypes can those be a problem ?

Nope

I run AfA sometimes but I commented it out of my SS but I can post my SS if you want..so you have a template

Ok, here's my startup-sequence
I thought I had AfA still in there but I had removed it, where you see IconBefast is the correct place to put the AfA OS Loader

I don't think it's wise to run both IconBeFast and AfA at the same time  :-o
