Amiga 4000 rom 3.1 unable to read workbench 3.1

[eXidy]

I just got 3.1 roms for my amiga 4000 (had 3.0).
Now it wont read my 3.1 install / workbench disks.

They work in my A600, but not on my 4000.

Am I doing something wrong ?

If I place the INSTALL 3.1 disk (or workbench 3.1) It wont boot from it.
But it will if I place the the 3.0 disks.

Since I have an HD, it wont show the boot screen with the disk animation.

Yeah, I have a working install of 3.0 on my HD.
im actually formatting my HD now just for the hell of it.

if I pop in the floppy into the HD it does NOT recognize the disks.

my workbench "about" shows:

3.1 ROM
Kickstart Version 40.68
Workbench version 39.29

The floppy's arent bad though, because I confirmed they work in my A600.
The Floppy drive is working fine because I can boot my 3.0 Disks fine in the drive.

Yeah, thats pretty confusing

When I stick the 3.1 disks (any of them) in the drive, i get:

DF0:?

Well im not sure about that quite yet.

I used all the same disks for 3.0 and 3.1 (all a brand new batch maxell 2DD)

One set reads 100%
the second set reads 0%

in my 4000

however, the 600 reads all the disks.

Ive tried each and every disk and the only ones that dont read are the 3.1 disks is my 4000.
