The system reboots after the setpatch has run for the first time after a cold-boot and nothing happens


I have the same problem with OS3.9 installed freshly from the CD. However, for me it is only a problem when the computer is resetted by a program (e.g. the installer or SetPatch). The system boots as it should when resetted by Ctrl-A-A. With installation of BoingBag1 the problem disappears.

okey I've tried the setpatch skipromupdates quiet, with the same result. reset then black screen and no drive clicks.


You have to switch off the computer to remove the buggy ROM update from memory. Also the correct keyword is NOROMUPDATE. The option SKIPROMUPDATES needs the name of a module to skip as a parameter (e.g. SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device").

As I told before, if it is the same problem as I had, you don't need to do either (neither switch off the computer nor add something to SetPatch), just install Boingbag1. And Boingbag2 if you like.

Bye,
