Remapollo - stuck in a reboot loop
« on: October 19, 2005, 11:13:56 AM »
I recently put Remapollo in my startup-sequence in order to remap Kickstart 3.1 to the Fast-Mem of my Apollo 1240.
Altough I went through the guide several times I unable to set it up correctly.

The problem is that I am stuck in a reboot-loop which seems to be caused by combining Remapollo with Setpatch.
I already tried to change the order of DRAP, Remapollo and Setpatch but it did not help:
Remapollo->Reboot->Setpatch->Reboot->Remapollo-> (...)

Do I have to use the Remapollo-modules for OS 3.9? Or do I have to SKIPROMUPDATES with Setpatch?

The best would be if somebody could post a startup-sequence in which Remapollo, Setpatch and OS 3.9 are combined.

Thanks for any help!

All those maprom tools for accelerators try to map the original physical ROM that sits in the sockets into RAM.
The ROM-Updates of OS 3.5/3.9 do the same but also modifiy the ROM by replaceing some parts with newer Versions.
After that you have two different ROM-Images in RAM that do collide and cause a reset.

So you either leave remapollo, when useing the ROM-Update of OS 3.5/3.9 as it is useless anyway, or you keep remapollo that maps Kick 3.1 and leave the ROM-Update by either set the option skipromupdate or deleting the ROM-Update file alltogether.
Not really interesting, but it`s there.

Thanks your for the answer! So that means that there is no advantage (speedwise?) of using Remapollo over the romupdate using Setpatch?
If that is true I see no point in using Remapollo since it even takes the "old" physical ROM instead of Setpatch which replaces some parts with newer versions/patches.
