A3000 sofware error

[odepotmike]

I just upgraded my amiga 3000 to os3.1 now when i try to boot it I get a sofware error 8000 0003  0700DEBQ  What the heck is this? how do i fix it. I I go into the early boot menu and disable the cpu caches it boots otherwise no go.

What kind of CPU do you have?

Did you just change ROM and tried to boot?

Have you just upgraded the ROMS?  If you have tell us what version kickstart ROMs you have fitted.
I believe the A3000 version, should be 40.55!
Use the early boot menu to disable all HDD and boot from DF0: with NO floppy disk in the drive.  You should get the kickstart screen.  The version number will be on the purple screen.
The A3000 kick roms are kind of unique, ROMS from other machines 1200/4000/etc don't work.  The A3000 requires some special bonus code attached to the ROM.

Just for a lark try this:

set the MAXTRANSFER on your SYS: (workbench) partition to 0x1FE0 (write down the old number so you can set it back if it doesn't work).

It sounds crazy, but it just might work.  On my A3000 running OS3.9, AmiDock ALWAYS gives me a RAMLIB error on starting unless I set the Hard drive this way.  It doesn't make sense, it seems insane, but it works.

The kickstart version doesn't denote what type of Amiga it was made for.
There are A3000 versions of 40.55,40.68 and 40.70

The A3000 requires some special bonus code attached to the ROM.

Only for ROM images on a SuperKickstart disk

Fair enough, I stand corrected!
