Pulling hair with OS3.9 BoingBag 2
« on: May 13, 2009, 07:10:08 PM »
Ok, have this problem on _two_ machines now, so I presume there is a universal fix:

I installed OS3.9 on a new hard drive and put it in my Amiga(s) (the other one an A1200 with Blizzard A1260, the other an A4000 with CSPPC/060). And just to be clear, these are two separate hard drives, not the same one.

Everything more or less worked. I updated to BoingBag 1, everything more or less worked. I updated to BoingBag 2 and installed the ROM update -> all went haywire. The machines keep booting themselves over and over again with slightly different gurus.

If I comment out Setpatch, I get a booting system that is... stuck in the Stone Age. I tried renaming the latest ROM update file to something else, and still no dice. What to do here?

I did install the latest Blizzard libraries from phase5.a1k.org, but are they overwritten when BB2 installs? I have the installers on my larger HD partition, which I cannot access since the pre-Setpatch Miggy only sees the first 1 GB.

Thanks for the quick response everyone - I'll give this a try when I get home!

By the time you spend hours on end looking at gurus, the hair will pull itself.

Actually did it both ways. For one HD I went from 3.1 upwards using UAE, for the other, I went straight to 3.9 from the Emergency Disk. I installed SFS, partitioned & installed the basic OS on UAE but everything else (including said BoingBags) in the real Amiga.

I did the scsi.device patch, and WOW! The A1200 now works. I'll proceed to tinkering with the A4000 later.

Thanks!
