SYS:C/Make Link: function not implemented?

[carvedeye]

Hi all every time I boot up my Amiga 1200T I get this message before workbench loads up
it is starting to annoy me now do any of you have any ideas? It all started when I installed boing bags 1-4?

TIA Ray

[carvedeye]

Have you examined your startup-sequence for that command somewhere in it?

Did you do a fresh install (onto a clean partition) of 3.9 + BB1-4, or install on top of an existing partition/OS install?

I think it was a fresh install (haven't been on the miggy for a few month) I have copy and pasted the start up sequence.

You can also do "version c:makelink full" from a command prompt, mine is v45.0 (12/24/2000).  Perhaps somehow you have an older version of the command?

That is what it says on mine? I'm have also tried it without SOFT and it still doesn't solve my problem? Its says I need the soft for it to work?

[carvedeye]

I am using PeteK's icon.library but I don't have any ghosting on the RAM Icon? However I am getting ghosting on .lha files if that makes a difference.

[carvedeye]

@Matthey - do you have a link handy?

A link would be great. I have checked my Libs Folder and I have 5 different icon.library files which are icon.library, icon.library.45.1, icon.library.45.4, icon.library_68000 and icon.library_69020, could this be the problem?

[carvedeye]

Hahaha.  While I don't think this is the cause of you're problem, you're going to want to get rid of those.  :lol:

What I do with mine is rename them with a ".old" extension during testing, then once I'm sure the new replacement is working I move them into an archive folder.  Keep that main LIBS: folder clean!  

Which library files should I delete? Do I rename the file I'm keeping as just plain icon.library?

[carvedeye]

Correct.  You want the correct one for your processor from @Matthey's link (IconLib_46.4.412.lha), rename it to just "icon.library", and stick it in LIBS:.  

There are 3 library files which one will I use? There is icon.lbrary_Lined, icon.library_68000 and icon.library_68020. Will it be the 68020 as I am using an 030 accelerator?

[carvedeye]

After you get that installed, reboot and drop down to a command prompt and give us the output of :

version ram-handler full
version c:makelink full

This is what I am getting.

[carvedeye]

Good sir, you need to update your ram-handler.  You're using an old version from 1992, that is no bueno!  

Where would I get a newer version from?

[carvedeye]

A recent ram-handler 44.23 is in the AmigaOS 3.9 official BB2 "DEVS:AmigaOS ROM Update". The ram-handler 44.24 should be in the "unofficial" Boing Bag updates as well as elsewhere but this is a kickstart module. There are several ways to patch it in after kickstart is loaded which should have been done in your S:Startup-Sequence if you are using the unofficial Boing Bags. I use Blizkick and my own custom kickstart so I don't need it and can't say specifically what is need.

I wouldn't have a clue how to do that

[carvedeye]

This page says ram-handler 44.24 is bugged:

http://lilliput.amiga-projects.net/TechDetails.htm

I've always used 44.23 (which is included in the 3.9 ROM updates), but what the heck, I'll try 44.24, and now you can, too.  File attached, stick it in your L: and reboot.  Save any old versions as ".old", or a backup method of your choice, first!  

(We may have to revisit your Startup-Sequence again, but try the above, first.)

Ok I have put the new ram-handler into the L: folder renamed the other to .old rebooted my Amiga ran the "version ram-handler full" and I'm still getting version 39.4 so I copied and pasted the original file to another partition and deleted it from L: rebooted and ran the command again and I am still getting 39.4?

[carvedeye]

Here is another tip.  I'm copying this from someone else's thread and just going to boldface the parts that you need to look at now:

C:LoadModule L:FastFileSystem L:Ram-Handler L:Shell-Seg DEVS:scsi.device LIBS:icon.library L:workbench.library NOREBOOT
C:SetPatch SKIPROMMODULES filesystem,ram-handler,shell,scsi.device,icon.library,workbench.library QUIET

In other words, somewhere in your first couple lines you should have the "LoadModule" command.  After that somewhere should be "L:Ram-Handler".  Likewise, your SetPatch SKIPROMMODULES should be set to skip the version of ram-handler that's in there.

Basically what you're telling your system is to ignore the old version on the ROM and load the new version from L:.  Kapish?  

I will give that a go and report back, I really appreciate all the help.

[carvedeye]

Here is what my s-sequence looks like.

[carvedeye]

It should have been installed as part of your BB updates, however since it sounds like you installed 3.9 on top of 3.1 (rather than a fresh 3.9 install), who knows what old junk you have left in there.  One sec, let me see what I can do.  Unless @Matthey beats me to it.  

My install was a fresh copy using my emergency boot disk. Would doing fresh install of AOS 3.9 and BB 1-4 be a better option?

[carvedeye]

Delete the linefeed after SKIPROMUPDATES.  Open the file in Ed or some other text editor, and put that whole command all on one line.  You'll have to scroll to the right to see the whole thing, but I think you have a linefeed stuck in there that's breaking the command.

Edit: do the same for the other lines (LoadResident & LoadModule) as well.  No linefeeds.  

Edit 2:  added picture.

What are linefeeds? mike I am hopeless at this kind of stuff What if you copied and pasted the s-sequence to this thread with the correct stuff on and I can copy and paste it to my Amiga would you be able to do that, that's if you don't mind I would really appreciate it.

TIA
